We have Donnybrook toppings (Sunset toppings, Tuscan toppings....every supplier seems to have a different name for them) to keep the weeds down and the mud at bay.

The screen gives us (and the neighbours) a bit of extra privacy, plus makes a nicer background than the fence when looking out our lounge windows. The pots add some greenery.

Re: What to put down side of house 20Dec 16, 2010 5:03 pm Our old house had a huge camellia in the front garden, it was tough as old boots and in winter was a mass of pink flowers. The house had been a rental for years prior to us buying it and the garden was somewhat neglected so the camellia had to be hardy to survive. We planted native hibiscus along one side fence and they grew well. They are on my list for the new garden.
