And of course given that some gardeners only have a pocket hankerchief
sized garden then they have more desire to fiddle and change things as
they have less work to do and more chance of getting bored than those
who have a big garden.

There is also the aspect of seeing the whole of a very small garden at
one glance. In a big garden you can have things that have gone over ,
which are less visible. in a tiny space - mines 6mt by 8mt - you see
every weed, dead twig etc. I tend to keep a lot of stuff in pots so that
I can rearrange things as they go over.

My one tree in the garden is a large Rhus in a huge pot :~)) It's has
sentimental value as it came from a runner from our old house. And at
least it's architectural in winter :~))

That would be a compromise solution for the cut it down/let it grow
debate.
Trees in pots. Very big pot=very big tree.
Before you are all overcome with enthusiasm for the suggestion I must warn
you that the blooming things fall over in high winds.


You are right............but we have a big hook in the wall and the pots is
tied to that with a chain :~))
