east facing garden

Post by diamond lil »

This house has an east facing garden, really enclosed and sheltered. After 30 years on top of a moor with a south facing windswept garden, this is looking like a challenge. Anybody know how to deal with it? It doesn't seem to get much sun apart from early mornings, and it's very mossy so might be wet.

It's ok being east facing depending on the surrounding buildings come summer you might get more light in it than you think (fingers crossed)
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
