Ask your gardening questions

Workshop community update #77

Hi all,

It’s fantastic to have horticulturalist and D.I.Y. expert Adam Woodhams sharing his knowledge and experience with the Workshop community.

A great example of Adam's practical and easy-to-follow advice can be found on our recent discussion about tips on how to improve your lawn this Spring.

Feel free to ask @Adam_W your gardening and D.I.Y. questions – I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to help whenever he can!

You can introduce yourself and read Adam’s story at our latest member profile on the blog. 

The Workshop community has also warmly embraced new member Judy, who posts under the username @kel.  Judy has shared many wonderful projects in recent weeks that have got a big thumbs up from the community, rocketing her to the top of the Workshop top contributors leaderboard.

Some of the fantastic projects that @kel has shared include:

• A vertical garden, which now looks fantastic all planted up

• An entertainment cabinet made from scrap wood

• A pergola with a mist system

• Pine drawers

• A built-in barbecue

• A D.I.Y. bar

• A firepit that converts into a barbecue

• A lounge chair made from garden sleepers.

Thanks again for your great contribution Judy. Looking forward to seeing more of your handiwork soon.

Other popular posts since our last update have included:

• A dramatic kitchen facelift with subway tile splashback from @ProjectPete, who also kicked off some interesting discussion about building his new home and his must-have inclusions

• Thoughts on using fence palings as house cladding kicked off by @Hansi, who has used wood effectively inside his home

• @LePallet shared an easy way of creating a white wash on wood

• @maknilsin has completed his deck and is now keen to get ideas for finishing touches

• Advice for growing broccoli and cauliflower

• @raymao268 shared his new outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, and got some advice for further works.

Meanwhile, new gallery images have included a new standing bar and Beer pong game from the prolific @Yorky88, a clever children’s table with built-in sandpit from @woodalwaysworks, and a series of bathroom makeover shots from @MissWendy, including a “tiny toilet” renovation.

Many thanks to all contributors to Workshop over recent weeks. Our top members in the past three weeks were @kel, @Yorky88, @ProjectPete, @Adam_W and @MissWendy. We really appreciate your contribution and look forward to more of your posts soon.

Love your work!
