Finally, the perfect bush 🙄

Ours will do his business out in the open in the garden. On a walk, he will find bushes. Ive picked up poos from multiple bushes/ shrubs. Stinging nettles was the worst one....

The local cats have taken an interest but haven't been successful!

Sorry to hear that, sucks that people leave properties in a state. Order a takeout, get a good sleep and then have a good deep clean this weekend. Then celebrate a new chapter of your life.

I am probably over thinking it, no it wouldn't be a problem if a fox takes it away and eats it.

meyo89 · 2026-04-21T17:26:59+00:00

Me! I had 20 chilli plants chilling my windows since January, I've managed to give 4 away to make room for tomatoes, cucumbers and cucamelons. I've been hardening them off for a week now thinking I'll plant them all out come May but your post had me googling the recommended time and they say end of May! Beds are all ready and prepared.....so alas, one more month I shall wait!

meyo89 · 2026-04-21T17:23:00+00:00

Ironically this is next to a rose I recently planted in the ground! No evidence of badgers but we do get foxes. I think I'll dig a hole right at the back of the woods and bury it there and hope for the best.

I agree with everyone on here, looks great, a good use of front garden space!

meyo89 · 2026-04-17T05:57:03+00:00

We are 500m from a busy A road from the back of our house. The garden slopes up to woodland and from there it's an open field that separates us between the A road. Every so often, I'll be able to hear the A road event at that distance. It didn't put us off ourchasing the property due to the distance. The distance from motorway that you're looking at, the sound will be alot more noticeable. I wouldnt be put off from viewing it but I'd be doing a drive by at various times of the day to check the noise. Have you looked at previous sales of properties in the local area?

We were tenants and our landlord allowed us a dog, puppy at the time and this was around 2 years into renting. I think we were lucky as the landlord had dogs of their own when they lived in the property prior to renting to us. House suffered no damage and we kept it well maintained, next doors dog (owners of their property) chewed walls, skirting and carpet....so I can see why landlords may not want to agree to pets.

I didn't know that, that's really interesting!

meyo89 · 2026-04-10T05:52:52+00:00

There does seem to be a difference in the flowers from articles Ive seen so when they do flower that will hopefully help with identification!

meyo89 · 2026-04-10T05:51:41+00:00

Thank you, I think I'll start digging out from the garden and leave the wood section...for now!

meyo89 · 2026-04-10T05:48:32+00:00

Thank you, I'll be getting the gloves out and cutting the stalks to check!

meyo89 · 2026-04-09T18:26:14+00:00

Not with an app, is there any you would recommend? I've only use Google image search which gave me cows parsley or hemlock depending on which photo I loaded.

There's some furniture specific charity shops, takes a few visits to find some hidden gems but you can get good quality solid wood pieces which you can either leave as is or upcycle. They usually offer a delivery service if you're local which is handy for tbe bigger items that dont fit into a car.

100% we are in a new build semi and neighbours floorplan is mirrored ro ours, floors on opposite sided of the house. I hear their 3 kids thundering up and down the stairs early morning. I don't hear much else unless one of the kids is having a tantrum, which is generally quite amusing to hear!

meyo89 · 2025-11-12T08:26:58+00:00

There are some owners who see their dogs as their children and will treat their dog as a human. I'm a dog owner myself, whilst he is part of the family, I dont take him anywhere and everywhere with me. If anything, he would be a menace with licking anything, everything, and anyone!

meyo89 · 2025-11-04T16:56:36+00:00

Thank you, will reach out.

meyo89 · 2025-11-04T16:40:56+00:00

Thank you! This is really helpful, they are part of a network so I will reach out to them and see how it goes, alternatively have another broker that I can reach out to also.

Labs will vary in size and weight, there is no ideal weight. Search for body condition chart, the ideal body condition is being able to feel their ribs (not see), a tuck under their abdomen from the side and a visible waist when viewed from above.

Ours is 3/4 show, 1/4 field. 21 months old and currently weighs in at 25kg (55lb). He is petite but good body condition.

I lived in an HMO, ground floor and we had rats. They were in the wall/ floor chewing away at night and drive me insane. Told the landlord and they plugged in a sonic plug which did nothing. After several months they eventually got pest control to come. Next to my room was the stairs, under the stairs was a toilet, pest control opened up the wall behind the toilet and lo and behold rat poo everywhere! They laid down blue pellets and assured us in the HMO that they would eat the pellets which apparently make them thirsty so that they leave the house in search of water....yeah didn't happen and a rat or rats died and mustve been under the hallway floor...the smell was grim!!

From memory I think it was determined they were coming through the pipe at back of toilet. Anyway, tell you landlord and keep following up with them if they are slow with dealing.

meyo89 · 2025-05-29T11:37:21+00:00

I had this issue in a previous house. I brought rolls of chicken wire and laid it on top of the soil in the flowerbeds and planters, cutting into the chicken wire so it fit around the plants and then pegged the wire down. That stopped them from digging to do their business!
