I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this; moderators, please feel move to the correct section.


Newbie gardener/DIYer here.


I live in a first floor flat of a Victorian conversion, with a small front garden that's overgrown with weeds. I want to dig out the flower(weed) bed and replace with gravel, take down the rotting picket fence on the half-wall, repaint, and generally tidy up.


My question is, what do you do with all of the rubbish and dug up topsoil? Do you pile it all on a tarpaulin and get Southwark Council round to haul it away? (I can't imagine my neighbours would take too kindly to a pile of dirt left on the pavement for days.) Buy one of those hippo bags from b&q? What do local car-less DIYers do? Even if you have a car, where do you dispose of green waste and wood? We're mid-terrace and don't have access to the back garden, so there's nowhere to put it all while we wait for it to be hauled away.


Any tips appreciated.

    • Another singing Leon's praises.Professional,efficient.Fairly priced.Great communication.  And happy to do my couple of small jobs.    
    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
