    Was soll ich damit machen?


    Wir haben kürzlich ein Grundstück gekauft, dessen Vorgarten voller Unkraut, dorniger Brombeersträucher und überwucherter Büsche war. Ich habe das Chaos beseitigt und möchte etwas Einfaches damit machen, während wir Renovierungsarbeiten durchführen. Vorerst möchte ich lieber nicht zu viel Mühe und Geld investieren, denn sobald die Renovierungsarbeiten beginnen, könnte es zu Schäden kommen. Irgendwelche Empfehlungen?

      No effort and no money plus it’s going to get damaged soon anyway all whilst heading into winter? Nothing.

      Just start planning for next year – maybe toss in soil conditioner if needed.

      Get a mattock and dig out the remaining roots, then mulch it with bark until you’re ready to make it look nice? No need to rush 🙂

      Dig through a few bags of compost then pick up some perennials and bare root hedge plants – they can be as little as £2 each.

      Plant the hedge at the front, you’ll need maybe 8-10 bare root plants. Then pop the perennials everywhere else

      Heathers.

      Plus they’ll look fantastic come spring and be full of bees.

      Make it wildlife friendly please God, I think you have a duty. Don’t just grass it or bark it that is unbelievably lame. Just make sure the renovations dodge it, I’ve managed in my tiny garden.

      Massive pond!

      Where does the sun come from? 

      What are your plans for where the pavement meets your property? 

      My first instinct is to think hedge or fencing, as Hedging can take time. 

      Then you can feel free to wreck the inside area as you refurb (dumping rubble, rubbish, walking over it. Etc. )

      Then as time goes along practice with whatever sparks joy for time to spend. 

      I’d personally go little veg patch first year for fun while building some borders of simple thrown down seed. 

      Then after a year or so I feel you’d be at a point to know what you want to do long term, what use or aesthetic you may like, how much time you may have to maintain it, and other stuff.

      If you leave the soil bare it’ll get clogged with weeds again. You could exclude light but that tends to be ugly as you’ll want to cover the ground for a year with something like fabric. I suspect you probably have a few weeds left so it might be best to do a cheap and cheerful ground cover which will last and help keep the weeds down until you’re ready for a long-term planting scheme. If you do something low growing and monoculture you’ll easily spot when weeds pop up and you can get rid of them. If you hurry you can probably put something like grazing rye or crimson clover in as a green manure. You could also wait until spring and plant something like forget me not, creeping thyme, white clover…basically any close ground cover that you can buy in bulk as a seed.

      buy a bunch of nice native flowers and ground covers and chuck them down. when renovation is done put in some fruit bushes like currants, jostaberry, peaches, haskap. many ornamental perrenials can be grown from seed: artichokes, globe thistles, primroses, native bellflowers. growing food at home is fun, can be pretty and is good for the enviroment too.

      In such a big space you could make some mounds, fertilise and toss pumpkin/butternut squash seeds on in like april and you should get a great harvest.

      then once a year you can mow the lot down to like 4cm after seed set and itll bounce back

      Definitely a Wildlife Garden! You should check out Joel Ashton on Youtube he has a tour of his front garden in each of the seasons, which should give you some ideas with what to do and what it will look like.

      without wanting to offend other people on here, I’d honestly just turf/seed it for now. it will look nice, will be better than mud, and add a bit of colour. Leave it for a year or 2 and you’ll get a vibe for what you want to do with it.. look at neighbouring houses for ideas maybe?

      one thing to note, if you go down the route of lots of shrubs etc, autumn can be a pain as i can already see leaves in the street. if the wind blows against your favour, your shrubs will just collect all the leaves and look all ‘meh’. I opted for part gravel on mine with lots of pots of colour in the summer, then i clear it for the winter so i can get rid of the leaves easier.

      for now though. grass and leave it. once you finish your renovations, you’ll probably know what you want to do with it.

      For an interim solution, I’d chuck down clover seed. It’ll be something you can then dig in once the renovations are done; it’s green and pretty and good for bees. Yes it’s a monoculture, but it’s better than nothing!

      Wild it! Let it be a nature haven with native grasses shrubs and wildflowers

    22. Supersonic_77 on

      Personally i would grass seed the middle and plant along the front and along the fence, seasonal perennials so something is flowering all year round.

      if you hate your nighbers plant a white pear tree in the senter . hardy. free fruit. butieful white fragrent flowers.
      its a set and forget . for the rest id personly do what street-leg4212 said and just plant native flowers.
      with natives you dont need do much their already use to your climent and soil

      Grass it over then come back to it in a couple of years by then you’ll have had time to decide what you want to do with it? Probably seed it and finished in a day.

    34. MouldyRemote on

      The best option would be a wildflower mix and maybe map out any future ideas you want to do with it, even putting a protective cover over it since there’s going to be future renovations
