Work guarantee from liquidated decking company
Hello, I got some timber decking installed and treated in 2015 and was given a 10 year guarantee. After some issues I tried to get in touch with the installer and have found that they have gone into liquidation. Is there anything that can be done in this situation? I'm not even sure where to start?
Cheapest fencing option
What is the cheapest fencing to install? My neighbour has planted a hedge to mark his boundary, but I need to keep the dogs in. Would a chain link fence be the cheapest? Roughly how much per foot/metre? I think the distance is 35/40 feet. Thanks

Can I ask neighbour's to shorten fence?
What rights do I have to request and have my neighbour shorten their fencing? What rights do they have in this regard and when do my rights trump theirs? Does it depend on where you live, how big the property is, whether the fence infringes on my view, etc.?

Fence ownership
our deeds don't specify who owns the adjoining fence with neighbour. We own back and right side as it adjoins a footpath. The posts and rails are on our side. Neighbour has pinned new feather edge boarding onto the existing using screwst leaving screws sticking through on our side . If this fence turns out to be ours and we need to replace how do we stand especially as the panels on the other side belong to the neighbour.
rotavate a garden question
I had a gardener come give me a quote to clear the weeds in an area of my garden where there is very little grass, he said he would strim it, rotavate it and then rake it to make it a bit more level. I thought good idea and I could probably even do that myself. However worried about the rotavator part as online it says it cuts up weeds and spreads them everywhere making it sound like it will be a nightmare in the future. should I really be concerned about the weed issue going forward.
Vertical gardening ideas
What's the easiest way to create a vertical garden on a brick wall?
Where to start with composting?
What is the best way to get rid of garden waste quickly without bin collections? With grass cuttings piling up in the bin I need to know how I can start composting asap. Where is the best place for a compost bin? Do I even need a compost bin or can I just make a pile somewhere? What can I put in it??
