| I’d love a greenhouse, but realistically there’s nowhere to put one here. Last year I had a go at a hydroponics set up in the spare room, and it flopped. And I got water everywhere, and we couldnâ ... |

It’s the wrong place for bushes. Something easy to weed needs to go there, because of the bindweed.

| We can’t have concrete, but if I plant a hedge, I won’t be able to weed it and it will get infested with bindweed and mares tail. I’m considering a heras panel, with netting on. Or maybe a haze ... |
