Hello chums,

Anyone used one of these. Over 6 years later we are finally ridding the garden of the hideous stone chippings and putting a lawn down so that it is all grass and not half and half. My pal recommended putting this in as we'll be digging everything up.

Could you divert some water from the river that meanders its way through your estate?

North Herts? Isn't that a posh area? Commuter belt and all that?

That'll be Horsham, North Hertfordshire then is it? not the one in Sussex that everyone's heard of?

West Sussex, that area in eastern area of Country, perhaps I should have been more clearer.
