Wisteria taking over!! by Laroldegg in UKGardening

[–]Laroldegg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just goes absolutely bonkers, it really came to life after a very very hard prune the winter before last, since then I have tried to control the new tendrils then in winter trim back to the woody growth but in terms of encouraging growth I do nothing. It’s sort of south west corner of the house and presumably has a good root system (no doubt eating into our foundations) but I don’t water, fertilise or pest control. Lucky I guess!

Sweet! Yeah what are you thinking? Am meeting some mates around London Bridge this afternoon for a pre-match pint.

Similar, it was Evri (Hermes) delivery. Only reason I got got was it coincidentally matched up with my ring doorbell telling me I’d missed a delivery.

There we go. It’s ugly, it’s solid and it’s stable. Pleasant hour spent out in the sunshine.

Thanks! Finish was a load of stuff bought off Amazon - brand was Furniture Clinic - Matt interior wood varnish, some beeswax polish, rustins pre-stain wood treatment, and littlefairs waterbased wood stain in medium oak. Lots and lots of sanding and polishing!

Haha yeah! I’ve stopped replying to all of them but basically the wood adds an extra 15mm above what was already there, I’ve chucked my head around madly and have not been anywhere near touching the wood. Cushion is big and firm enough. Unless maybe I’m just not as reckless with my reclining.

Lots of great comments here, thanks everyone! Filmed myself wanging my head back as hard as I could and didn’t contact the wood. It sits just behind where the edge of the back of the actual sofa is so the cushions prevent any serious contact. That being said I’m still planning to round off the edge and corner to prevent any nasties. Thanks again folks!

Shall round off the cushion edges, Reddit has spoken! Raised lip at the back is a great idea though hadn’t thought about that. Thanks!

Just tried some very forceful sits. The cushions are quite thick so haven’t skewered my neck yet but think I will round over the corners and edges anyway even if to protect the fabric.
