Tuffeau Stone

love it and that wood too - I love this type of setting !

All for free Paul...What you must be vigilant about, when collecting these old stumps, are wood wasps...they love to nest...and boy do they attack....
I've got a spray that is safe around birds and fish, and I take the timbers up the garden, and spray all over, that gets rid of all nasties, if any...and it deters Ants from making nests too...then put them in situ...and just use my Garlic spray after if I need to...

Regularly go down to woods to collect - I mean in Garden centres we pay up to £6 a bag of bark! So self collecting is great. My girlfriend is also into all this - so we went down to get all the stuff in woods and as some people came by all they seen was us come out behind some bushes :DDD

We had a few crawlies in the wood - I like to attract woodlice as they compost it - and keep lining new layers :))))

Very welcome the Woodlice, they do an excellent job...

:)))))

Just to add about the Tuffeau Stone...once it's in the sun, it goes back to it's natural colour of White...

Thanks Crissue - reason can't grow moss around pond for its full sun
