Would never work in our house! Sometimes I have to take senior hound down the road to cr@p as often he won't even do it in the garden in the evenings.hopkinb said:
There's 4 m² of gravel by the back gate, next to where the home office will be built in early August. Dog is happy to do its business there (she has no choice!). Nice and easy to pick up, and I hose it down when I do the plants. Pong free so far, even with the warm weather.Stevo_666 said:
Practical question Mr. H: where does the dog go for a leak/censored in your new grass-free back garden?hopkinb said:
Its going to be in a deepish raised bed (with no bottom) trained up a fence.Ben6899 said:
There's a lot round here and a really solid one in next door's back garden - on a summer day, with the breeze in the right direction, our kitchen is heady with its perfume. Wonderful.hopkinb said:
We had a jasmine delivered the other day. Smells gorgeous. Not got round to planting it yet.Ben6899 said:'ternoon
Trellis arrived.
Coconut matting arriving this afternoon.
Jasmin being delivered at the weekend.
Trellis will need trimming to size.
Affix matting to back of trellis.
Erect trellis so we don't have to look at - or listen to - the neighbours.
Train the jasmin over the trellis.
Are you putting yours in the ground or in a pot? Ours will be in a pot (on the balcony).
We recently decked and paved the whole back garden (I'll never have to mow a lawn again!), but have built a lot of raised bed space and invested in some nice pots and planters which we are now filling up with a mixture of shrubs, roses, perennials, and cheerful annuals.

Fair point Loon, but he appreciates it and it gets me out the house and away from the random job dispenser for a little bit. Think of it this way: try locking your wife and your dog in separate car boots for 2 hours - then open the boots up and see who's more pleased to see youorraloon said:

So I thought with ours - soft ground only, but it turns out that if you need to go, you'll go, and the softest bit, furthest from the house, will be just fine.Stevo_666 said:

When did strava change? I'm not paying to see I'm faster than fools. (Imagine I'm the guy off the A team. Not a fat brummie).0

Trying to get my new Clematis to flourish. Didn't realise that there were so many different varieties. I chose a blue/white plant for a small wind break fence next to the bird table. I intend to put in an arch too.Ben6899 said:'ternoon

Heh heh. If only. They've changed their thing. You now have to pay to see leaderboards.pinno said:
I suspect Strava thought your times were assisted 'cos you have so much powaaaa and post such quick speeds.hopkinb said:When did strava change? I'm not paying to see I'm faster than fools. (Imagine I'm the guy off the A team. Not a fat brummie).

With the stack and reach measurements on that frame I probably would be able to slam it. Just doesn’t have the same effect when it’s a 70mm stem and a flat handlebar... 😀veronese68 said:
Do it, do it, doooooo it. Slam the stem and put some deep rims on it. Don't forget to post pics.Wheelspinner said:
Still debating whether to buy new frame and build a bike I don't need.
I know you can't slam it, I'm trying to make up for the lack of MFs

Maybe a sponsor commensurate with the brand like Germolene, Blisteze, epo-online.com.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
