I rent the bottom apartment of a house-turned-two-flats and outside we have an enclosed courtyard and garden. Steps to courtyard, then a four/five foot-wide irregularly shaped strip of garden with stones running through the middle, then path cutting horizontally to the back gate on the lefthand side, then the rest of the garden..... I hope that made sense...
My issue is that the whole garden has got problems with weeds and brambles, the grass is patchy, the ground is uneven and rocky, the earth is stony as fuck... And it's my responsibility to keep it maintained! I don't own a mower, but I do have a strimmer and secateurs. Been out there all damned day and barely made a dent in it!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about sorting this? Do I just try and dig it all up, replace the dirt and then re-sod everything?! Or can I get it sorted if I do it bit by bit?
I'm a massive newbie to gardening, so I'm very overwhelmed! Any advice would be great!
