Re: Gardening Thread
Hi
Thanks for that - but was only thinking that if you did not have a job yet as you seem to be very knowledgeable and hard working. Glad you are in employment again and I expect you will need every weekend you get developing your own project
I am just panicking as there is so much to do and if you get one weekend of bad weather it seems to run awy with itself again and the weeds take over.
Once we get on top of it I am sure it will be ok. But then I also seem to be a base for relatives to stay and then again you dont get much done on those weekends .
I am now trying to take a more relaxed view and say the weeds are good for the wildlife.Leave a comment:

Re: Gardening Thread
Thanks for the tips - some more practical than others . No chance to try them out yet as still trying to get rid of bits of glass and wood from a 1960s summer house that was falling down. and yes we have saved any wood that is burnable for the winter .

Re: Gardening Thread
You need really thick gloves and clothes and a pair of long reach loppers or a weed killer with Gylphosate in it.
The easiest way, Get a lawn mower or strimmer and cut them down to near ground level, cover the lot of them with tree stump killer and then cover for a couple of weeks with a tarp.
If you want to do it the organic way.... remove them to ground level with a strimmer or mower, dig as many roots out as possible then cover with a tarp for 6 months.Leave a comment:

Re: Gardening Thread
very funny :smokin::lol:
Bit close to my house though
Mind you with the credit crunch may get more on insurance and it would stop our house renovation in its tracks
worth thinking about.Leave a comment:

Re: Gardening Thread
Hmmm
What do you suggest - blow torch or bonfire
Also what about the 6ft wooden fence that it is growing against?Leave a comment:

mochamoo
really made me laugh - sounds like a pond we had in our last house.
have you managed to gain employment yet? As my offer as a jungle clearance officer still stands - and dont forget we are only 35 mins away.
We have asked someone to quote and they have not even come back to us .
On second thoughts - that shows how bad it is.
Anybody got any hints on how to get rid of a huge corner or brambles?Leave a comment:

Re: Gardening Thread
Don't mention Ivy Grrrrrrrrr, had top cut masses of it back today from back fence. The neighbours side was thick of it and it was making fence lean into our side. so I spent a whole day nearly today lopping and chopping it back. Back killing me now lol.Originally posted by EXC View PostLeave a comment:
