Initial garden plan and concept plan
Structural changes
new bed shapes- we are wondering about adding some beds in front of the steps on the patio now or later.
Wildlife type pond with a small seating area made from decking or a gravel base. The pond would have an informal edge with a fence made from wooden posts and trellis which could be installed or taken down in 5 mins and stored near the compost Leaps
The summer house area. The soil removed from the pond would be used to raise the summer house area by around 100mm
Behind the Summer house we can create a compost heap using some old building
pallets
With the Summer house we can start looking for some old wood or teak railway sleepers to form the pillars.
Screening to the side of the patio build thin raised beds and the use
clematis armandii
General gardening
Lawn we need to feed with a food that turns the soil acid to support the finer grasses.
Flower beds Adding some well rated farm yard or horse manure cover with cardboard and then add a Second layer of manure as a mulch should help lower the soil pH.
