The bank that faces the wrong way

Before you buy a pergola, move the table.

Every change below is put into the plan and the whole model is run again. That is why a pergola's winter cost shows up here without anybody having written it down, and why the cheapest thing that works is allowed to win.

Where it stands now

Something growing here

The foot of the bank does not work for growing things on a day like this, and how long it stays wet is why.

  • How long it stays wet is14h over— 24h against at most 10h

    Roots and foliage sitting wet kill more plants than the wrong hardiness zone does.

Confidence medium (60%). Enough to point in a direction, not enough to buy against.

What this answer was built from
  • Use
    Something growing here
  • Place
    The foot of the bank
  • Weather
    Temperate maritime, mild, grey, damp (scenario shape) (from a published source)
  • Method
    A whole day in September, traced against the scene rather than read at one hour
    • Something growing here is read across a whole day or year rather than at one hour, so single changes are compared on the questions pages instead. Go there.
