Clamatis, raised beds and titles for pics!

the watchman

Hi All,
Firstly,...."I am not a gardener":D

I just planted a clematis and used some copper wire from old electrical twin and earth cable for them to crawl up on. Only just thought, will there be any adverse reaction to the copper.

Secondly what is the minimum depth of compost to grow small grassy type plants, I'm guessing about 9inches.(have a very deep box and don't want compost all the way down, stones will be underneath with layer of plastic on top).

And finally heres a set of pics. What do you think of them, ultimate recycling, highly innovative, great impovisation or...just plain mean:D:D:D.

Thanks for reading.

I think it looks a bit rough, but if your happy with it thats all that matters.
Isnt copper poisonous to plants and trees?
A bit of galv wire and some nails wont set you back much over a fiver.....give a better climbing support for them also.

You can get a big reel of the proper galvanised garden wire in B&Q very cheap. grt it now before the plants take off
