Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
Very difficult to do much that will last long by yourself in these circumstances Galloway. Maybe you need to get a professional landscaper to give you some help in setting out the garden again, although it won't be cheap. They will know how to get the garden into a position where the minimum of effort keeps it looking OK and then you can go from there. Raised beds are good, but making them is awful hard work in the beginning. For years now my neighbour has not bothered with the bottom half of her garden. It has become a haven for wildlife and doesn't look too bad really. She gets someone in to cut it all down for the winter when it doesn't grow much. She only keeps the bit near the house reasonably tidy. You can always take advantage of the free advice of a landscaper without laying out any money to start off with.Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
Hello Brian, sorry to hear about your problems, it must be so frustrating for you. Damn weeds take over so quickly as well, don't they.Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
Sorry, something else I found too.Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
I'd go with getting in a landscaper. ... or just let your own imagination run riot.Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
Galloway you need to make your gardens low maintenance. I was a keen gardener still am in my ways but I suffer with severe emphysema and heart problems and bending down weeding is not good on my lungs or heart.Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
Here 'down south' there was at one time a scheme where people were available to help through Age UK. Not sure how this worked, something like the first hour had to be paid but then on it was free. How many total hours that was for I do not know.Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
That's one of the reasons I moved, weeds rooting in gravel! If you live next to countryside it's impossible to stop them.Re: Garden maintenance for disabled
