Not in Crawley Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 TMGJ - you're the man with green fingers. I've sown a wildflower medow ptach over the weekend (we have a very strange garden - all levels, with parts on a very steep incline) So we've done away with lawns and wanted to create a large wildflower gardern ovelooking the upper decked area. Now, the question is we've put down a load of compost as the soil isn't great, scattered a lot of seeds, racked and watered (it also get really dry) so how often do I need to water and what's the best way to get them to take? We also have a vertical wall with about 40 cells that we've planted in. It gets some sun but not a lot, we've had joy with snapdragons, herbs and we're trailing ivy. We'd like to add dome more colour - any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Why are you tarting up someone else's house? You should change the locks rack up a load of debt that requires them to go to court to evict you, then the night before the eviction - smash the gaff up, hacksaw through the central heating and water pipes and take a hammer to the bathroom fixments, wear safety goggles doing this, store your piss in milk bottles for a month beforehand and leave them, in the last week move into one room and defecate in all the other rooms, then spray paint "A nonce owns this house" on the pavement outside. Then do a moonlight flit. Edited April 6, 2022 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from one or two roads it was solely populated by tramps, and still is, that's why we moved away in the late 70's, my old man looked at a massive house on Bolton Road before we moved to GL (the nice bit) had six brick Garages out back, they couldn't get a mortgage because it was so dilapidated and vile druggy squatters had been in it, my dad had the cash for all the peripherals and him and his two brothers were all tradesmen, but they wouldn't have it (the brokers) About four years later he could've sold it for a packet to be a nursing home.

They'd do annual planting for us? Very generous of them. Being seasoned renters, we are good with potted plants and any we do plant (aside of stuff like bulbs) we usually dig up and re-home in the new place. Also good with a bit of festoon lights, which we also take with us.

Getting the 501 to Burnden doesn't count as knowing Great Lever, tycoons built mansions there (The Brooklyn, Lever Grange, Walkers, Johnston Paint bloke) Highfield is just a big council estate that had a flat-roofed pub that was byword for rough. It did have a good chippy though, but a good chippy is a signifier of trampiness of an area. Edited April 6, 2022 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
