3 goes and my patio is still tragic

Advantages: Easy application.
Disadvantages: Won't work on really awful stains. Fishy smell.

...Plus:- No scrubbing. Minus:- Fishy stink. Doesn't work if your patio is REALLY bad. . I'm doing the garden up at the moment. I go through phases of doing up the garden, it looks all nice for a while so I take my eye off the ball and before I know it, the weeds have taken over and it looks a complete mess again. Anyway, I'm currently busy growing fruit, veg, herbs and so forth aswell as re-painting the fence panels and shed, putting slate chips hither and thither and then I realized how skanky the patio slabs and little border walls were looking. Some were their original creamy stone colour and others were various shades of green to grayish-black. In the past I've set to with hot water, disinfectant and a stiff broom?..and got covered in nasty flick-back so when I saw a bottle of Patio Magic for sale in Wilkinsons for £7...

O PATIO RESTAURANT GREAT EATING IN TAVIRA

Advantages: EXCELLENT FRESH PRODUCE COOKED VERY WELL
Disadvantages: NONE

...When in Tavira you fancy a very enjoyable meal out then visit the O PATIO RESTAURANT. LOCATION:- Find the OLD ROMAN BRIDGE, not difficult, then with your back to the Open Air Theatre cross the bridge, on the opposite side just continue straight down the little street facing you, about 50 yards on the right hand side is O PATIO RESTAURANT. You enter by the door and prceed up the Staircase. You will pass a chilled display of the Fresh Caught Today fish on offer. In the restaurant is another chilled display of the Meat on offer. There is a small bar and then tables in Three Areas (rooms). There is also a Open Air Patio that must be delightful in the Summer. Pity we only seem to visit Tavira in the Winter, although it is still warm. What I Like is the Tables are Large, which is a big plus when the Food and Drinks come...

Review of Hotel Patio, Wroclaw

The Patio - Hanover St Edinburgh - Warning!

Advantages: Good location
Disadvantages: Very ifffy service mentality

...We ate at The Patio, Hanover St, Edinburgh on Saturday. A strange long, thin restaurant interior, and a décor that was in need of a serious makeover some years ago, but didn't get it. We waited too long for drinks, and finally the order to be taken. Having waited, we asked twice for an update on when our food would arrive. Especially when others were arriving after us, and getting their food quickly. Finally ... the garlic bread was disappointingly simply sliced crusty bread with thinly spread oiling butter - and no hint of garlic. My pizza (specially ordered as extra hot version of their special "The Patio Pizza") ... was so perfectly round, with a perfectly rounded crust, that it looked suspiciously like frozen dough ... drowned in over the top mozzarella, and little else - very disappointing! My wife ordered...

Patio power

Advantages: Cleans superbly
Disadvantages: none

...Believe it or not but summer is on its way. Weather wise I mean. I have managed to plant a few summer plants in my tubs and hanging baskets and instantly my garden looked a little bit brighter. Except for one or two things that let the garden down. Green slimy moss on my patio tiles and weeds sticking up between each tile. My patio needed a good scrub and de-weeding. If you think I was going to get a brush and scrub it, then mess around with weed killers, think again. I just went into my garage and got out my B&Q pressure washer that I had bought a couple of years ago. I cannot recall the price I paid, but it was about £50. I am sure the prices will not have altered that much in the last couple of years. If you want to save yourself a lot of time, hard work and get sparkling results, I suggest you go out and buy...

PLANTS, PETS AND PATIO SETS

Advantages: Good quality products, wide selection, pleasant surroundings
Disadvantages: May be a little expensive

...to say that you will not be spoiled for choice. Within the area, there are usually trained members of staff who will assist you with any advice that you may require, and this applies to the entirety of the garden centre. There is also a selection of dried flowers, if this is more to your liking. Home & Garden Section To your right, you will find the Home & Garden Section. Not only does the Grosvenor Garden Centre sell a wide variety of garden furniture, but I can say from experience that it is good quality stuff. I have bought a number of items from here and it really has lasted. During the summer, this area is jam packed with various styles of garden furniture, patio sets, sun loungers and barbecues. Unfortunately, there has been one occasion where I have not been overly impressed with the service in this section. A few...

Review of Grosvenor Garden Centre, Chester

The Strawberry Season is Here................Hooray!

Advantages: Easy to use, Looks impressive, Good results.
Disadvantages: None

...In my quest to save money, eat a more healthy diet and help the environment my sister, who lives next door to me, my daughter and myself decided we would turn our green fingers to growing our own fruit and veg. We both had enough room in our gardens to plant a good variety of veg, we both have dwarf fruit trees and we both have raspberry bushes but neither of us could seem to find quite enough room for strawberries plants and of course, with strawberries being the perfect juicy summer fruit with so many uses, from smothering them in sugar and cream to blitzing them in a smoothie, we had to think of something. Whilst browsing around our local Dobbies we came across the Haxnicks Strawberry or Herb Patio Planters, which were advertised as being perfect for small gardens, patios and balconies. Sold in a pack of 2 for £15 we decided to...

Review of Haxnicks Strawberry & Herb Patio Planter

Small gardens can have colour too

Advantages: Small, lovely smelling, wide varity, easy to look after, great for container gardens.
Disadvantages: Short life span.

...I have a small backyard, that is my little haven. It is in the middle of an estate in West Yorkshire and to most people a backyard is just somewhere to put the rubbish bin. In mine I have four patio roses that I have had since I moved in five years ago, every year they give me such pleasure to see them flowering and the scent from them is excellent for such a small rose. I have other plants in my garden, but the ones that I have had from the start have been my Sweet Magic and Cider Cup patio roses. They do not have a long life span, which is abit off putting, but believe me if you look after them, they will flourish for some years. They need a little pruning in the autumn once the majority of the flowers have finished and topping with some good compost, just to keep them fresh. Come the spring you will see new shoots coming across...

Review of Patio Rose

Patio potatoes

Advantages: fresh homegrown veg
Disadvantages: you lose you flowers but gain healthy food

...Have you ever wished for fresh dug potatoes but don't have a big garden or an allotment then wish no more! I have only a patio courtyard back garden but I still get a crop of fresh veg each year, how you may wonder - well it is easy try planting in tubs and sacks. I grow tomatoes& strawberries in those hanging bags you can buy which means they don't get slugged or snailed as easily and they are not so easy for the kids to pick before you want them picked! I grow my carrots and salad veg and spinach in long deep trough type tubs and Potatoes in my recycling bag (shush don't tell my local council!) I poked some holes in the base (it is the dark green type so there is not much light transfusing through) and put about 10cm of compost from mixing fresh with my compost bin contents in the base of the bag then I plant my potatoes (approx 5...

Review of Potatoes

A modern hotel in the granite city

Advantages: Modern, clean, bright with leisure facilities - beach side location
Disadvantages: rooms get stuffy, can be noisy

...The Patio Hotel is situated just off Beach Boulevard in Aberdeen and close to a modern complex incorporating fast food outlets, a cinema, amusements and a leisure centre. It's a few minutes walk from the bottom end of Union Street, Aberdeen's main shopping street and generally regarded as the centre of town. It's also just a short walk from Aberdeen's beach, a walk or jog along which can give a bracing start to the day. The hotel is light and airy when you first enter and the central atrium that rises high up above you is an obvious design feature which reinforces the modern look of the fixtures and fittings. Above you, the internal rooms look out into this interior courtyard while the external face the relatively flat surroundings and the biting wind coming off the North Sea. Staff were pleasant, polite and efficient without being...
