My problem isn't with the small size of my garden; it's the slope *combined
with* the smallness that's giving me problems.

Books and tv programmes give ideas on how to design for a slope, but only
for larger gardens. My garden is small and squat, so if I terrace the area,
there won't be any room on each terrace for sitting or for my kids to play
(plus I can't afford the costs of moving tons of earth).

If anyone has the time and the inclination, I've posted a couple of photos
of my garden at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/melanie.mccluskey/garden/ and
invite design ideas and hints!

Many thanks,
Mel

Your slope does not look too extreme really,

It looks to be about 30 degrees.

How about a slide for the kids?
