  Gardening shoes
Posted by: JJB - 30-12-2021, 03:47 PM - Replies (17)

I need new shoes for the garden. My previous pairs have been the lad's old leather school shoes, but he's now got size 13 feet and is 33, so you can imagine how old his cast offs were. Then I bought some cheap boys school shoes which didn't last a season.  The new ones need to be easy to get on and off, waterproof or near enough and comfortable and preferably durable and cheap!

I wondered about some wellie shoes or some 'chelsea' boot type of wellies. Normal high topped wellies are out, no room in the porch.
Any suggestions? Anyone a fan of wellie shoes?

Just responded to Broadway in the heat mat thread..... now I love a bargain. But the thought of making a heated bench from scratch really fried my brain. Big Grin even if getting the bits in opposed to buying it would have saved me quite a few pounds.

I have loads of sweet peas on the go....my brain is in overload thinking about the frame. I need a super tall one!The thought of building one is horrible.

I'm not lazy - but I am let down by lack of DIY enthusiasm..to be honest I feel a bit scared when I have to build something. 

Anyone else just like the plants and can't be bothered about the frames and paths! I've a mudbath to slip through before getting to my greenhouse doors at the moment!! ......I bought a load of second hand slabs of FB 6 months ago and they are just stacked on the side Sad who's laid a patio?

  Heat Mats

Was thinking of getting one so just wondered what your thoughts/experiences were?

I could get a heated prop but thought the mat may be a bit more flexible?

  Evergreen hedge
Posted by: Jimny14 - 29-12-2021, 05:14 PM - Replies (7)

I have been wishing my parents new house over Christmas and have got to talking to them about plans (they are starting to build a new house on the plot) for the garden. There are some existing hedges which are mainly hawthorn which need laying so that's a job for the next few weeks. 
There are also some hedges used for screening off which they'd like to make more private. From what I could see there was a selection of dogwood (different colours) the occasional birch tree and some other deciduous shrubby things in this screen they've inherited. It is patchy in parts and mum would like to fill it out with some evergreens to give it a bit more privacy during winter. She was originally considering filling the gaps with laurel but I thought it would look odd to have such informal hedging interspersed with laurel blocks. Does anyone have any suggestions for some evergreen interest which is quite informal? Or is it a case of rip it out and start again?
