    How to protect fence

    I have a new build house with a little slope, I want to put the garden on 2 levels, bottom will be paved and the top I want to build a retaining sleeper wall with artificial grass on top. The right side of the garden will be fine to put soil up against as it has a brick wall to retain the bottom of the houses next to us but the other side the left hand side has a fence running along the slope. So If I build a retaining wall, all the soil will be up against it. How can I make sure I don't damage the fence? Thanks

    Is it possible to have an indoor lawn?

    Hi. Is it possible to have an indoor lawn created? Long story short, me and my husband decided to have a wall removed years ago so that we could extend our kitchen; fast forward to today and it’s like we don’t really need that much space. So, we’d like to re-build the wall and maybe even have an indoor lawn/indoor garden built with some big glass doors to let plenty of light in. Is this even possible, safe, legal? Thanks for your time. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    What are the best garden sheds to buy?

    Metal sheds? Plastic sheds?? Wooden sheds??? I’ve looked into all of them and can’t decide between. So far all I have come up with is that metal sheds might get hotter inside so to be careful what I keep in there. Other than that what are the pros and cons of each?
