ubereglu Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 It's easy to add photos on here tara. Well once I had Lesley show me!!! If you've uploaded them into the gallery you simply click on them to get the big version of it up on screen. Then you right click on it and a menu will come up. Click on Properties and it will come up with another window. There will be a web address for that picture highlight it and copy it. Then paste it onto the post you're writing inside brackets.

PurpleHen Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Tara, Sorry - can not help - but we had the same problem at our last house - bark on the borders, and hence on the grass! My OH used to moan every time he has to cut the grass despite my best abilities of putting it back again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Mine are just the same, except they destroyed the lawn so at least no lawn mower problem They get bark chippings in their food and drink too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I got some little low wicker fence edging panels. They were £1 each (in a £1 shop!), and are each about 90cm long. I guess they're only about 6" tall + a wicker loop on top of that, but they do seem to make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris70 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I got some little low wicker fence edging panels. They were £1 each (in a £1 shop!), and are each about 90cm long. I guess they're only about 6" tall + a wicker loop on top of that, but they do seem to make a difference. We did the same - but got them from Homebase on a 10%. We still loose some mud / gravel - but it is so much better (OH doesn't complain anymore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
