You may be surprised and there could well be less watering in the long run as the area will be sheltered b ythe tree overhang and perhaps not be so sun-baked.

Just a thought?
That's true - hadn't thought of that. Might be worth a go - actually next door have said I can lift the old bath that's mouldering away outside their house, would be perfect for that situation. If I can lift it!!! It's quite heavy...

Demeter - thanks for those website articles, some really good advice in there.

Thanks everyone!
