Well done this is lovely and quite quick to achieve such a look. I was wondering what soil type you have?

Drc726. we have been in this garden for seven years now and on the first year it had a ton of horse manure , since then it has had nothing put on the soil what so ever . i must do a test to find out but what ever i put in grows very well unlke the other side.

i find the garden works better by not putting to much on it , the odd feed through the year and the plants seem to do well . now the end off the year has come things might change on that boarder
