Glass mulch
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! |

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.

writes But the OP's taste was kitsch and perfectly awful. Why should I prevaricate about it? 1) if the OP feels taste is important, they may be unaware they have bad taste, and it is something that is difficult for them to change. Telling them bluntly that their taste is bad serves no useful purpose for them and may distress them. 2) if they don't feel taste is important, then your comment is at best irrelevant and at worst impertinent 3) you may be wrong ;-) -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
