We have been keeping our grass down with a scythe, but with spring on the horizon, we are thinking a second hand petrol mower would save us a lot of time.

I have been trying to search on Lebencoin but when I put La Trimouille in the location box (screen grab below), it is still showing me mowers (and other things) from all over the place - can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks

We are hoping to plant our garden with a variety of fruit (and possibly nut) trees and bushes, plus a vegetable plot.

Are there any things that we can grow here that we wouldn't be able to grow in South Wales (UK)?

Where is a good place to buy plants and trees near La Trimouille?

Thanks

The Divine Miss H will join us after all in our new home in Ireland. She will have a ferry (and furry) adventure with a pet courier and spend a few days in a lovely cattery in County Kerry and then we reunite after our own arrival. 

Honey will not have the big garden and fields she has enjoyed since she joined our family but, adaptable creature that she is, I know she will win over our new neighbours with her sweet nature.

Miss Honey is a combo of house and outdoor cat and is quite happy to sleep most of the day (with snack breaks) and share the sofa at evening TV time on her special blanket. She loves Perry Mason and film noir.  In fact, she's quite the 'people person' and loves visitors and detects cat-lovers immediately. It will be 10 years ago this April that she appeared in our garden, meowed, followed me home and has been a true friend ever since. 
We have come to terms about having to part with her and so looking for a home where she will be well-loved. 
If any forum readers are interested or know someone who would be, please email me. And thank you...]]>

L’Office français de la biodiversité confirmed after examination that the animal was very probably a gray wolf and probably hit by a train. Further analysis will be carried out, but it does like the farmers were right.

In the house it's no problem as we still have some old ant powder and it works every time, but the problem is in the poly tunnel. We've never had a problem before but last year we had loads of them farming aphids on the cucumbers and melons.  

Tried:
Various herbs and spices.
Chili and garlic juice.
Water both hot and cold.
Coffee
Lemon
Washing up liquid
Ant traps
Ladybirds
Lizards

The buggers are already coming back so we have got some new ant powder but it doesn't seem to be doing the job. We don't want to use the old stuff as I think it's very poisons and we don't want to risk it leaching in to the soil and our vegetables.

Suggestions ?]]>

Just wondered if anyone can recommend a garden clearance service who will also dispose of the rubbish?  


Have brambles / nettles as well as self-set small trees & bushes  / loads of ivy as well as some old furniture and general rubbish to clear from a detached garden area.

Thanks in advance,
