    Dear Old House,
    I love gardening and lanscaping. my dad has been doing it for nearly 20 years in Ontario, Canada and next season i am going into this business. I want to become a pro and stay creative to such a degree that my customers would rather want my plans than theirs, and i have the feeling that they will want it very often. but... i can see that you are unlucky when it comes to weather man... maybe some prayers to rain spirits would help.... take care! thanks for your channel, it helps me a lot as well as it inspires me the same. PEACE!!!

    Would you really ALWAYS want to plant the root ball higher than the surrounding earth? I was thinking this would be great in the average situation, but in a place like the Southwest, Arizona or New Mexico it seems like you want to have a little depression that would catch and save any water, as well as have room for some mulch to shade from the sun and wind and maintain some humidity?

    I really wish there was a photo of this 5 years later so I could see what it looks like but that's not possible at the time of posting. The production crew knows that and just wants to put out a quality product. They have to rely on the fact that TOH puts out quality work in all the other videos so you have to take this one with some trust.

  • @leet0809
    @leet0809 5 років тому

    just an opinion. if one doesn't have enough money to purchase enough plants to make the 'privacy screen' then she should wait and save more money and do the project more properly. With only 3 plants in 10 feet or so space, I am not sure 1) how long you'd have to wait until they grow enough to give her the privacy 2) how pretty your house overall will look until all plants have fully grown.

    Guys I got a huge dilemma here. I got a daycare next to our house and their toys keep flying into our garden. I'm getting more and more pissed off with these toys ruining the look of our garden and having our hard work littered. What would be the best way, other than going over there and having a talk with them? Is there something I can do on our boundary fence. Cheers.

      Roger isn't well, and patience isn't easy when working with newbie gardeners while being unwell/in pain. According to the latest episodes, Roger is stepping back, hope he gets better quick but continues to take it easy. He has done the hard yards over the years.
