Very little. Hope that the plants grown are sufficient

Bamboo only with a very good root barrier

The Fargus does not need a root barrier

or must then be cut back over the winter (Clematis).

There are types of Clematis that do not need to be cut back. They regrow from the long "branches". I also have one... a blue-flowering one in the west, but I don't know what it is called.

What kind of "design elements" do you have in the garden?

A greenhouse, a reinforcement mesh as a climbing aid, a rusty heart on a stem in the shrubbery, also a birdbath for the birds there, several large stones with faces (sculptures). Nothing colorful. Currently, small stones are hanging on the fruit trees to prevent the branches from growing upwards.

You have beautiful gardens! I also believe you are never really finished. We are also just at the beginning of garden design. So far, my husband has done the excavation work. That means the drainage around the house with connections to the sewer and a soakaway. He has set L-shaped stones towards the neighbor, erected a fence, and built a 9-meter wall, which will be clad with natural stone veneer. Tomorrow the bottom row of stones for the chicken coop will be laid. It will also be clad with natural stone veneer. Otherwise, we will also have raised beds with a natural stone dry wall and a large insect hotel. The children will of course also get a sandbox with a playhouse and a mud kitchen. Here are a few photos of today's material delivery and our bed in the front garden. With lavender for the bees. The tree trunk will still be moved to the back of the garden as a boundary for the sandbox.

Thanks already! Birdbath and possibly raised bed are also options for me.

I just remembered, we still have a huge grid (formerly stair railing) and a large metal horse (important childhood memory), I will try to integrate those.

And we still have two huge tree disks [Weide, daher sehr weich], I estimate 120 and 80 cm in diameter, 20 cm thick. Do you have any ideas about them? I would like to use them long-term, even if I have to varnish them or something...

And we still have two huge tree discs (willow, so very soft), about 120 and 80 cm in diameter, I estimate, 20 cm thick. Do you have any ideas for them? I would like to use them long-term, even if I have to varnish them or something...

cool... varnish? No way, it’s great deadwood I would put one in the sunny bed, one in the shady one. Then you can nicely observe the differences in decomposition.

I just remembered, I still need moss for the front garden.
