Yes, you know i am in a confined concrete yard, well I am not but the slugs are!
My yard is all concrete with a raised bed at the end. I think the concrete is not allowing the heavy rain to drain away through soil and also a high north facing wall too, so the raised bed is never in sunshine really.
What can i do to get some drainage in here, will it mean to try get rid of the concrete as i wanted anyway.
There also seems to be lage concrete slabs at the entrance which are slopping away from the tiny house and i think that is there for one good reason - to prevent flooding back into the house.
SO, if i wanted a flat even patio I wont be able to do it on the level for flooding reasons, eh?
Any bril suggestions, I can live with most things, except breeding slugs!!!
