Garden advice needed

Post by tonyade »

Hello all.

Just need a wee bit of advice from the green-fingered Sydenites out there. Basically, we've inherited a garden that has lots of webbing all over the place. This is to stop the adjoining gardens' aggressive weeds from taking over our plot (our neighbours have left their gardens grow wild - ivy, brambles etc ). The webbing did have some rotten mulch/bark covering it, but I've taken it off now. Can anyone suggest some toddler-friendly solutions to covering it? I'm thinking of that big bark you see in playgrounds, interspersed with some hardy plants. Also, I haven't got much money to spend on it. Just a bit of elbow grease .

Cheers chaps!

My brother put down artificial turf. It's not easy to get your head around if you are used to seeing astroturf on pitches but the stuff they make nowadays looks great IMO.

My bro got his from ebay (sold by different grass-blade length) and it was quite cheap.

This was the first link that Google threw up: http://www.evergreensuk.com/

I saw some large-ish bags of bark (as used in some play areas) in Homebase Penge.
