Garden too big for you now perhaps? or maybe you are too busy to have time to attend to it. Whatever the reason(s) if you have a garden that you can no longer manage, Dawlish Transition may have an answer to your problem in that it is looking for gardens like yours so that others, who have no gardens, can look after them for you and produce food in them. If you are interested in this ...
Re Mr Mole; read this from today's Telegraph. experts have warned that the weather has brought another nightmare for proud horticulturalists: a plague of moles. An explosion in mole numbers threatens to turn thousands of lawns into mountain ranges overnight, uprooting prized flowers and burying manicured turf beneath unsightly mounds of soil. Soggy weather in late spring and ...
What about the Powderham Estate? They might be able to help or point you in the right direction.
Some questions come to mind. If the interest rates were higher, causing more people to default on their mortgages, where would all those people live who had lost their homes?

@Paul - given that interest rates are so low at the moment i would have thought that would increase the numbers being able to afford to buy a property. so, if people cannot afford to get on the property ladder when interest rates are so low what options are left open to them? For more info on possible other options take a look at this link. It should take you to a thread on this website that ...
@Paul : When you talk about house prices falling back to 'normal' you don't say what you mean by that. I wonder if you could let us know? I'm just curious because as everything seems up in the air (again!) at the moment with regard to planning legislation and housing policy I think it an appropriate time for all and every idea to be put in the pot. Which isn't to say that I would necessarily ...
From Inside Housing: "Developers would also be able to refer schemes to the Planning Inspectorate if they feel section 106 agreements governing the number of affordable homes they should provide are making schemes unviable. The inspectorate will have the power to reduce the number of affordable homes that are required, or remove them altogether. To compensate for the reduction in section 106 ...
