Garden Chores !

Lets face it, we all love to enjoy our gardens but the realization of keeping it this way isn't quite what we want to be doing in our spare time.

There are things however, we can do to eliminate the weeding, spraying and general maintenance that comes with the package. Good ground covering in our flower beds is very important in weed control. Did you know that using Slate Mulch on steep inclines can add longevity and lower maintenance. The use of plastic weed control is a big NO areas where you want to plant.

Even raised beds are perfect for those who are unable to crawl on there knees to reach unruly areas. Railway Sleepers are Perfect for this and add the rustic look that's so rich in any garden setting. Fancy the more contemporary look ? Why not use a New Oak Railway Sleeper or New Softwood Railway Sleeper in a vertical setting.

Either way, our gardens are work. For that we can't deny. But the added value to our homes in a much dilapidated housing Market can only ever be a good thing.

Plus we get to enjoy the fruits of our labour for the 14 days of good weather we are likely to receive over the year.

See below the top rated most hated garden chores !
