Howdy
We moved in to a house with a conservatory. Along the outside of the exerior wall is a strip covered in shingle, with grass on the other side of that.
The OH wants to do away with the shingle, so it can simply be mowed, instead of weeded.
However, would grass make a moisture "bridge", encouraging damp above the damp course? Is that why most conservatories seem to have a path around them? Or is that aesthetic?
I'm all for making less work in the garden, but not at the expense of mouldy walls.
Ta!
