The whole area in photo 1 was covered in the membrane at the left of photo 2. I lifted all the slate chippings, sieved them and used the bigger stuff on a path and spread the finer stuff back onto the soil.
I added a new path round to a pergola behind the pine and will break up the "soil" with a pick axe ( yup, that's what it needs) and in Spring , spread compost all over ( see Compost Corner Thread)

Great photos Hosta - love the last one with the honeysuckle artfully winding its way up the drainpipe - perfect
and in such a tiny planting space Chicky.
I love the way they've matched the hydrangea and planter with the paint colours around the door in the other photo.

Very wet and windy during the night but dry now.
Have a good weekend.
The Rock 2, before and after. It's kinda hidden in the first photo to the left of the mahonia, underneath a rhodo..

Hi all.
Great rock Hosta, I would need to rope up to climb that.
Love the photos, I lived in Holland for a year and spent a lot of time in Amsterdam, one of the truly great cities.
Grey, wet and cold, everything I hate about Autumn / Winter.
Watching rugby, snuggled on sofa I think.
Have a good day.

It is an aesthetic rock Hosta, as you said many months ago
What planting is going to accompany it?
