How to make plastic look pretty
« on: May 28, 2011, 19:24 »
At the bottom end of my allotment, I have a huge pile of weeds/soil that I was advised to cover in plastic and leave for a year or so. I have done this and weighted the plastic down with pallets. It's effective but doesn't look great.
We're taking part in 'Open Gardens' next month and I would like to improve the look of i if I can without major effort.
Any ideas?............I was thinking about maybe cutting a few small holes in and planting squashes?

Squash's, courgettes or anything that loves the space (especially if they have a good feed of compost/manure around their roots!)

Also if all else fails a few things in pots too!- I have a selection of plants in pots that move around my garden to cover bald patches as required!
Very often quite lost- would be more lost if I could work out where I was!- But always find my way home.....

All exactly what I was in the middle of saying when the computer conveniently switched itself off!  >:( Battery being too clever for its own good!
