Have just been to Chaumony in France where one of the show gardens had
coloured glass mulches - very striking. Can anyone please tell me where
in UK I can get these mulches? I'm in Derbyshire, so if not near here,
I need someone who does mail order.
Many thanks!


How very perfectly awfully kitsch and tasteless.


Everyone has their own taste! Some people even grow sedum spectabile ;-)

Imagine that!

Just remembered that a few years ago at Hampton court flower show they used
broken up CD's as a mulch,,,,,,,,,good use for all those junk ones that come
through the door.

I suspend them near my veggie patch to keep out the vermin: a kind of
21st Century scarecrow. It's an interesting sight when you have a lot
of them and the wind catches them. I used to use strips of foil, but
the CDs are a very economical solution. They also last longer.

Personally, it would remind me of municipal cemeteries where all-too-many
graves are covered in glass.
One source of clear glass could be the people who replace windscreens. I'd
hate to do the weeding in that garden, though - ouch!

I was replying to Franz - that's why I posted immediately after his
sentence - or so I thought. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I appear to know considerably more netiquette than you, and I actually try
to behave more or less in accordance with it.
How about trying it out? It makes for a much better continuity in the
logical progression of a thread.

post,not knowing!Franz, mistakes are made you should take a chill pill!!Have
you checked your blood pressure lately,after all it is meant to be fun,not
crucify someone because you don't agree.

create a bitching newsgroup,that could be fun!

From the nature of your comments when I try to help folk to post in the
commonly accepted way.

I don't top post but if people want to I don't
feel it's my place to tell them not to.


I, on the other hand think that the threads would be much easier to follow
if everybody followed the accepted practice of posting in-line, and I think
it worth pointing this out to urgs who appear not to appreciate it yet.

I also try to refrain from telling
people they have poor or no taste just because their taste may be

different
from mine.


I don't refrain from telling people when they have appalling taste. I also
don't mind if people do the same to me.

Franz
