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).

Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
