Things I like using in the garden
Below you'll find a selection of items to use, books to read and seeds or plants to get that I use in the garden & greenhouse. Wheter it's something to use in a DIY project or to read up on various things, or even to wipe your feet and something to tackle slugs nicely - I got you covered.
All images are my own to show you that I really use it. Anything show has been used or tested before I recommend it to you.

Vertical growing does not only look nice, it's also a space saver of sorts. I tend to combine my 3 obelisks with my self watering pots in the greenhouse and grow luffa, cucumber and cucamelons on them. Pictured is the full length obelisk fully in the pot and soil. This provides a bit more stability. I grow a plant by each vertical bit, then go 1 quarter round before going up again - and repeat. This way I'm maximising the obelisk with those lengthy plants! They're fairly simple to assemble, bit of a wobble but once a full circle is build it does become easier. Also helps that you can keep segments out if hight is restricted.

Caribbean vibes anyone? These bamboo screens give a tropical vibe and protect everything inside the greenhouse against the scorching heat from the sun. Keep your greenhouse cool and look cool at the same time. Weather proof, you can control how much of the roof you expose, ideal!

These castor wheels are brilliant. I've got 11 sets of this size so far (and a smaller set for my little stool). They can take up to 600kg in weight, two wheels have brakes, they drive smoothlythey can go inside (like in my greenhouse) and outside (like out front), I do live in South Devon, so no real hard frosts as further up country.
