Cinnamon Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thought I would update this as the paving is now all done - it looks really smart now! The path goes right to the patio,so no more muddy Crocs for me. The little bush in front of the orange Cube is a honeysuckle & it has teeny solar fairy lights in it which look so pretty when they light up in the evening We have had to lash down the pink Eglu for the storm tonight!

Blackrocksrock Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 It is just a dream - fantastic and love the eglu up high - like to do something to bring mine up too. They are very lucky girls - whats with the PIG?? Or am I seeing things = presume its wooden!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 That looks just wonderful, I am very envious. I love the pig looking into the run, what is he made of? Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Oh yes,the Pig Hubby bought him from some shop he went past & gave him to me as a pressie a few years ago, He is resin I think, & he is normaly much less obvious when the border is in full bloom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 wonderful! I love the way you have planted the little borders around the runs, looks smashing. I LOVE the pig aswell Lucky hens and lucky you to have such a nice garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby bears mum Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 WOW - it looks fab. It wouldn't look out of place at The Eden Project. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Sarah it looks just fantastic! Love the round runs - v swish indeed! I am debating whether or not to put my cube outside the hen hotel as you have done - it will make it much easier to clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am debating whether or not to put my cube outside the hen hotel as you have done - it will make it much easier to clean I am putting my eglu outside my new run, am going to raise it up too, nice not to have to bend down all the time. I can't see how you could hose the eglu down if it is in the run, would just make all the floor wet each time. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Another advantage of having it outside the run is that the rain keeps it clean on the outside - they get horribly dusty if they are in the run. Its nice not to have to go into the run to collcet the eggs too - less chance of getting a pooey Croc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Its nice not to have to go into the run to collcet the eggs too - less chance of getting a pooey Croc I have a dedicated pair of chicken crocs that i dont mind getting poohy as long as i dont forget to take them off and then walk into the kitchen in them! The OH goes crazy if i walk on his clean floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 wow, now I really love the run that Andy built me bit now that I have seen yours .... :mrgreen: I've noticed that quite a few of you have plants in and round your runs - I would love to do something like that but don't have a clue what to plant (ie what will last, and what isn't poisonous). Mine seem to decimate everything except, thankfully,my almond tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 What a beautiful run, Sarah. Makes mine look very basic. You've landscaped it beatifully! The pig is the cherry on top! Alan Titchmarsh would be impressed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
