Hi there, first post here.
We have a long, relatively narrow garden, one side partly over a disused sesspit, with little soil and parched grass in summer, and we incorporate this bit to put up an inflatable pool for the summer months and then there's a pretty grotty looking round patch (with some weeds) for remaining 10 months.
There is a plant border with budleia, wisteria, etc in front of fence towards road, and another border with mainly roses, some conifers and gravel running along fence to neighbour.
My first thought was tree bark and some smallish plants, but heard now on here that cats love tree bark toilets...
My second thought was more gravel with some smallish plants. This part of garden is baked during hot summer months (no, we don't live in UK).
But perhaps gravel would be too hard, uncomfortable under pool (there is a soft protective sheet under pool).
Has anyone divided their garden into specific areas like this? We have plenty of other areas for recreation, fruit and veg, etc. just basically looking for a long term solution for pool area.
All suggestions gratefully received.
