Hi All.

When it comes to gardening, i am what you will call a learner, so please excuse some of my questions.

We have a section within the garden which is slightly raised, i have removed all the weed within that section and also turned the soil around, just to ensure that all the weeds are gone.

I have the following questions.

1. There are some weeds by the corner, and i do not want to destroy the block work when manually removing it, can i spray weed killer there, will this damage the soil ?
2. We want to have some flowers there, one that will be colorful, easy to maintain, all year round growth, less flower droppings/mess.
3. I do not want to have any week there anymore, do i need to do more cleanup ?
4. the vegetation has some stones there, do i need to buy compost ?
5. Are there any other recommendations ?

One other thing, our garden is south facing and gets a lot of sun.

Thanks in advance.

Remove the weeds by hand and lower the earth, it's too high at the back. The fence will rot in no time.

Thanks for the reply.
I seem to believe that the base of the fence is concrete, I will check when I get home again as i am not sure.

Is it just the back that needs to be lowered ?
Do we need to think of excess water drain off ?
If i am going to lower the back, i am guessing i should scrap off the excess and get rid of it right ?

Thanks in advance.
