The gate is a screen from bunnings inserted into a frame we made.

Weed mat/plastic? Re: Pictures of my garden (Updated) 7Mar 02, 2019 10:50 am Its funny that you`ve asked that SteveMc, because i just got back from a two week holiday and the rock garden is full of weeds!. I did put down weed mat under the stones but unfortunately the weeds and grass still grow through. So i just pick out the bigger ones and put boiling water from the kettle on the smaller ones to kill them off. I prefer to do this than to use poison as i have a dog that sometimes chews the grass and weeds. If i was starting from scratch i would use mulch in this garden like i have done for my front garden as i get almost no weeds with the mulch.

The pencil pines have really taken off as have the westringia bushes infront, and the dychondra in the pots beside the front door. My little white agapanthus plants beside the westringia are finally showing up and flowering too.

I love the colour contrasts - it's all so very striking Re: Pictures of my garden (Updated) 12Aug 02, 2019 8:00 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I recently got some rustic/ tropical looking pots and I've filled the largest with a standard olive tree with some moss like ground cover plants underneath, then filled another pot with water which I plan to get a solar fountain/bubbler for. Then the smaller two pots I've filled with chalk stick succulents and a cycad palm. I've added these to my tropical/Asian style side yard. I love the way its turned out and I plan on getting more random plants that I love and adding them to this garden. Re: Pictures of my garden (Updated) 14Jan 06, 2020 12:22 pm Thanks Brad1979. the garden is constantly changing. Its been a couple of months since I updated these photos and the garden looks different already. Ill upload some photos or video if I can Regardless of wall hung toilet or floor pan toilet your feet will be right on drain, seems to me the waste should not be in that location given the design.
