Yes I was hoping to do something for pollinating insects, however it's down the side of the house and doesn't get much sun.


I will Google! Was hoping someone on here might have done it and could advise!

Thanks, that's useful.


KK I could have transplanted the moss growing on my car windows, but sadly my lovely mechanic removed it 🤣

Thanks so much! I've PMed you!


At least I thought I had, but it isn't showing up in my 'sent" items. Can you let me know if you don't get the message?

My shed roof is leaking, which is partly why I thought of replacing it with a green roof.


It has that felting stuff on (not sure what it's called) but because I had plants and things in pots on it for a while, the roof has slightly collapsed and distorted a bit.


I'm not sure whether I might need to replace or repair it before starting on the green roof.


The roof just lifts off (it's a sort of lean to shed).

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
