Redeveloping the Area of the Septic Tank

In late Winter we had to have our septic tank replaced and the garden around that area was completely destroyed. It is a heartbreak at the time but as a gardener you soon find ways to create new focus in the area. I have placed azaleas in the back of this area - they were flowering when they went in but have finished now till next Spring and fuchsias along the front. I have a bit of a penchant for futures as my Mum used to grow them commercially and I always had extra “stock” plants in the garden for her to take cuttings from. They are gross feeders and flower on the new growth so they need to be attended but they are providing a wonderful display. some of them have been started from cuttings from other parts of the garden and others I brought as small options. Watering regularly and fertilising wit bioboost they have grown remarkably well so that the area doesn’t look like a bomb sit any more. On top of the septic tank itself I have put potted plants and a statue that reminds me of one of my grandsons so that it is now in keeping with its surrounds.
