| I've called this collection 'part 3', but in fact it's more like part 5. Still, what's in a name? In an idea world I'd split the other Front Garden collection, but that requires tuits, and those are in short supply.
Anyway, I finally got round to putting some bark chippings down around the bit that's going to be a sort of patio. (So naturally, it rained. Sorry!) I think I used 7 x 40 litre sacks of bark, and it quickly became obvious that I'm going to need a heck of a lot more to cover the 'outside' bit of the garden. I'm tempted to see if a sawmill can supply some at cost rather than pay a fortune for nicely bagged up stuff from garden centres, because otherwise the whole project is going to have cost a heck of a lot more than I can sensibly afford. The bit in the middle, where the patio furniture is, is going to have a screed of concrete laid down to more or less (rather less than more probably) level it, and then I'm going to get some Welsh slate aggregate to put on top. At the moment there are flagstones in the middle - I'm undecided whether to keep them or to have them removed completely. I'll probably see what it looks like when I've got the slate down, and then make a decision based on whether or not I think the slate will be firm enough and level enough to support the table. |
