Hi Colin - many thanks for your post The only reason I put the membrane down was to kill off the weeds - If I took it up then would I be able to plant the herbacious perennials which would then spread out and cover the ground? If so that would be great especially if there is a splash of colour which is what I'm after - your recommendations or a list (or two) would be great! Thanks again for the reply Lou

Hi Norman Many thanks for your reply - I have not heard of a Zone Degroupe - so I'm assuming that I'm not in one! If you know how to check I will have a look Your Free.fr package sounds good so if you could let me have any more info on it I would be very grateful Thanks again for the reply Lou

Ok all you keen gardners here's one for you... We have a house in 47 that has a dry stream running through it .....currently has pebbles in the bottom that you can walk on, water about 1 foot below(ish)........with it so far....but on the sides I have put green membrane on it to kill off weeds - it approx 3 feet deep on each side and runs for approx 100 feet in lengh So on to the question - what shall I/can I plant into the membrane? It's clay soil, temperature wise - hot in summer and (very) cold this winter - I would love to create some colour and cover the green membrane too with plants that are perennial - but whatever will grow and suit the climate really I like to get stuck into the garden but am by no means an expert - all advice greatfully received Thanks Lou, Lot et Garonne

Hi all We've had a Fance telecom (landline) & Orange livebox (for the internet) in our French house for sometime now and it looks expensive to me - I'm hoping you may able to recommend something cheaper We currently pay 31.99 euro for the landline and 34.77 euro for the internet per month We currently use the internet all the time when we are over in France (each month) but hardly ever use the landline All suggestions gratefully received Thanks Lou
