    Think of the advantages - all those delicious little alpines that you normally can't see without bending down, could be up near eye level image

    That really would be the best solution; move all that plant material, hire or buy a shredder, put it on your compost heap and have a sunken rock garden; really far more interesting and a sun trap for some plants and others will like the shade on the other side. ..and a place to hide from the world when you want toimage

    Some lovely ideas to think about, by the time I have this garden under control though not sure how sunken my pit will be! Thanks.

    Husband is more concerned about how he is going to move the rock from the entrance to the rockery than anything else - have a feeling we might all be dust by the time he gets around to it!
