B3, I'm only to happy to provide the 'theory'. I am slowly putting it into practice, but it takes time to reach the levels of mastery I have observed here. Neglect requires effort sometimes, if only to resist the urge to meddle with accumulation of grime, the maturing of mould. It takes an almost Baudelaireian strength of character.
I can at least be consoled that the ground elder I have painstakingly dug a few weeks ago is back in it's full majesty and umblemishness.

Baudeaireian - l looked it up. what a great word! I will insinuate it into conversation at every opportunity.
The Baudeaireian Gallery hmmm!
One esteemed member dumped concrete slabs on his weeds as a suppressant. You might find this handy tip useful
No need to worry about the foxglove flowering anymore, Liri. You have some visitors munching the leaves. However, I have succumbed to my good nature again (I need to find better ways of suppressing it) and added a little helper. Now it may or it may not deal with the visitors, but I dare say that's a welcome tension in a gardener's life.
Baudelaireian!!! Bwahahaha I've heard it all now!!!! My old chemistry professor used to roar at us about our Baudelaireian efforts at synthesising compounds. I never thought I'd hear it again!!!!! Brilliant Pitter patter.
As I was doing the dishes Liri I looked over towards the compost bins and thought exactly the same as you think about your wood pile. That pallet has been there so long that I don't see it any more! And the brick beside it! Must take a pic. You can all see what you think.
Concrete slabs are rather too cumbersome for my current disposition. I feel relaxed, I am one with mother nature, ground elder is as beautiful as any other plant. Peace.
hahahahahahha hilarious pitter patter!! i was looking at it and thinking 'oooh they have made one exactly the same as mine!' i'm much too tidy for that pile to be missed on my daily inspections i have a wind tunnel leading to the back door and all my empty plant pots, leaves & general debris colects itself there on it's own accord, only trouble is when you bend down to sweep it up the wind blows it back into a vortex
Sanjy....that's my kind of thing!!! Well impressed with that. Yesterday I was looking at a bench at auction but it was a bit Now I know what I'm going to do with the two bunks in the garage roof space!!!!
In the Winter when there's nothing happening outside (like tidyin er that) I rejig pieces of furniture. That's sheer genius!
pp i love doing stuff with junk, mind u i stood looking at the pile of bits for a good half of a day trying to think of something to make, i've also made a low kids bench with a toybox beneath the seating for my great niece & nephew, i made that out of a solid ended babys' cot.
i want to see your bench when completed piled up with cr*p as in pitter patters indoctrination

There are no rules lirodendron
Pitterpatter your efforts have demonstrated what can be achieved. Thank you.
Hope you will find time to practise more guerrilla pasting
It's been a bit windy over the past couple of days. Might I suggest that members check their gardens to see if any improvements are evident?

Pitter Patter, thanks so much for your improvements... my mind is at ease.
In actual fact, there are already toads in the heap of wood. It's a great excuse for leaving it exactly where it is.
hahahahahahha
