Garden Building
10 Amazing Uses for a Garden Building
Got some space in your garden and a bit of spare cash for something a little different?
Here's ten amazing things you could use a garden building for...
1.Create your very own super chic, garden room drinks bar - complete with cocktail shakers, icebuckets, glasses and paper umbrellas. Fantastic for garden parties and barbecues and a great place to escape to after work.
2.Pamper yourself in your own personal garden room spa. A whirlpool bath, massage chair, fabulous skin care products and a chic flic on a wide screen TV. Absolutely perfect for a girl's night in.
3.Build the ultimate model railway room and never have to clear it all away before guests arrive. Lay track all around the garden and watch the trains from the warmth of your own garden signal box.
4.Make room in your life for relaxation in a custom made garden chill out room. Lay on cool music and comfy chairs, turn the heat up high and sounds down low then lie back and unwind.
5.Get creative in a custom built garden room photographic studio. Lights camera and plenty of action will give you a whole range of images for business and pleasure. Add a top flight digital printer and just think of the money you could make!
6.Set up your own garden room brewery. Barrels, boilers, bottles, a glass fronted fridge and a nice comfy area for quality control could give you hours of pleasure. Okay, so you might not remember too much about it but...
7.Take up wood turning and fill your garden room with shavings. The possibilities are endless from giant pepper mills to lace making bobbins but best of all you get the satisfaction of doing something practical and making something beautiful.
8.If your house is crammed to the loft with children's toys then put together a purpose built garden playroom complete with closed circuit TV, intercom, cushioned floor and walls and loads of easy to access toy storage space. Special space for the rugrats means less Lego between the toes for you.
9.Communications can give you a whole new perspective on the world. A garden based CB Radio shack complete with a monster aerial could get you eyeballing all kinds of people you might never otherwise meet. Now that's a big 10-4 good buddy!
10.A garden building can easily have a glass roof so how about your own personal observatory complete with state of the art reclining chair, star gazer's telescope, star charts and a map of Mars. Out of this world!

Garden Building Questions
Why can't i build a rain garden less than 3m from a building?
Everywhere I read tells me I have to site a rain garden 10 feet or 3m away, presumably its to avoid the water from seeping into e building foundation. If I do adequate waterproofing for the rain garden, can I build it just beside a building?
The problem is, what is adequate waterproofing? Even the best liners can crack, earth movement can cause things to shift and settle, etc.
Save yourself the headache and just keep your rain garden a safe distance from the house.
How do you start a veggie garden?
I would like to start a vegetable garden. Our soil is rocky and poor quality, so I plan on building a soil box. How deep do I need the soil to be? Should my garden box have a bottom or should I line it with bark or something else? Once I have a box, what ind of soil should I buy - is it best to use different types of soil at different layers?
Hello and excellent question!
First, you have made a wise choice in building a raised bed (soil box). When your soil is rocky or poor quality, a raised bed can make the difference between disappointment and a nice harvest.
How deep your soil needs to be kind of depends on what you plan to grow, and how much soil you actually have underneath that you can use -- the rocky part is the problem. In general, 12 inches is the least I would go for a great harvest. If you can build your bed even deeper, your beggies will thank you for it. 
As long as you've cleared out the weeds and removed some of the rocks, you don't need to line your raised bed box. In fact, you can start by mixing what soil you do have with compost, to make your poor soil a bit better.
Personally for the raised beds I grow, I like mostly compost -- bagged is fine. I will also usually add in some (don't laugh) potting soil to make the soil a bit more porous; easier for new roots to grow. I just mix it all up.
Once you've planted your veggies, don't forget to mulch them well. I like hay (the cheaper the better) the best, but you can use bark chips, newspaper or plastic garden mulch.
Best of luck with your garden!
