Has anyone worked out how much that path would cost, just dig down 2 to 3 feet deep, anyone know anyone with a mini digger prepared to work for nothing, then fill with hardcore, know anyone with a few hundred tons to spare, fill with the nice new grey stuff, still, the bricks were recycled.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the path, but when Monty started talking about digging it 2 to 3 feet deep and back filling with hardcore then the layer of slate clippings, I thought that this is not a job for the diy gardener. The job would cost thousands.
I can't imagine how many bricks are there.
Apart from that, I quite enjoyed it, Carols enthusiasm thrills me every time I see her,

I missed the programme and was so cross with myself.....but then I read this feed and saw the comment about I player......I really enjoyed it although I wish they would say how much things cost to replicate and maybe give ideas on how to do something similar on a smaller budget. Monty always makes me smile but joe just doesn't do it for me and Carol, bless her she's such a smiley person.....looking forward to next week....sky reminder is set to record
I really like Joe and think they have a very good team at the moment. I personally am not all that keen on spending time looking at some of the gardens they visit as I would much prefer to have some more gardening advice and ideas, after all it's only a half hour programme so think some of the garden visiting is a waste of time. However, I'm sure that a lot of people enjoy looking at the gardens so It must be difficult to please everyone. Does anyone know when Beechgrove is on?
It,s a good programme for me as it has basic info and the winter flowering plants feature gave me an idea with the dogwood combination. It is not tooooo taxing as I feel a "heavy" taxing programme would need to be longer. It is good for giving us ideas.
I do find Joe boring and Carol is to enthusiastic!!
Yes, the chickens make me smile as they seem to steal the limelight from Nigel without meaning to do so! Monty is so self effacing and down to earth and reminds me to do boring stuff that I have forgotten to do
I have been watching Beechgrove and it is on the same lines except that it has more trials on Composts etc. which is useful. Some stuff is OK for us living down south, but mostly it caters for the colder areas up north. IT starts on the 4th of April @ 7.30 hrs. nationwide on BBC 2. Enjoy
In case anyone has missed the news, Chris Beardshaw has been invited to join the presenters of Beechgrove. Looking forward to April. I now live in the north of England and find the programme very relevant, however when I lived in the South I still found much to enjoyabout the programme.

That was one of the nice things about Geoff Hamilton, he showed how to make things on a low budget for the ordinary gardener.
