What do you want to grow in the vege patch? You have so much room you could make compost bins using pallets and chicken wire. Is it easier to paint the sleepers before or after installing? Thanks very much. If we could afford it we'd get someone else in to do it. In saying that it's rewarding once it's complete, even if it's got a heap of imperfections We've planted corn, capsicum, button squash, tomatoes, lettuce, zuchinni. And have watermelon and pumpkin to grow down the back as wild vines under the citrus trees. I've been researching espaliered fruit trees. They look so cool. Just need to work out where I'll put them. Hmm I'd recommend painting afterwards because then you only paint where you need to. Also less patching up of paint required. We (I) want to paint all the fences and back brick wall a dark colour too. Husband thinks its a waste of money as eventually the hedges will grow over them. I think it will be several hundred well spent for those years but need to research type of paint and costs to weigh it all up. Then there's the problem of how I make it look neat beside the pool where i can paint it easily where there's no plants, but then can't easily paint behind the adjacent hedge. OORR we just leave it and spent all those hundreds on cool plants Re: Newcastle House - landscaping - pool is in 178Oct 17, 2017 11:20 pm You made me laugh re the big trampoline .....being in 5 acres our sons was huge too.....finally managed to get it down to the verge for the bring out your dead day last weekend ......he's 14 <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> Re: Newcastle House - landscaping - pool is in 179Oct 17, 2017 11:29 pm AKB You made me laugh re the big trampoline .....being in 5 acres our sons was huge too.....finally managed to get it down to the verge for the bring out your dead day last weekend ......he's 14 Hehe well 14 years is a great stint!! I hope ours are using it up til then. Did you turf under yours? I think I’ll need to put it on a thick bark mulch area. It’s a bit weird crawling and pushing along a mower under there. Lol yep that’s how I mow it Re: Newcastle House - landscaping - pool is in 180Oct 17, 2017 11:59 pm We turfed and did the same .......to get it down the verge we put in on a car trailer <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=62083">viewtopic.php?t=62083</a><!-- l --> You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14313 Hmmm, I have checked your past posts and it seems that you are in NSW, not WA as I had thought.
