Does anyone know anything about gardening?

some JB Weld might do the trick.

Drill it. Use nut and bolt with chunky washer and tighten to buggery?

I've actually got a crap plastic watering can at the allotment that is covered in gaffer tape. It does work.

If you buy The Kitchen Garden magazine in Waitrose you get about 5 packets of veg seed for free.

Glue a patch on the inside - patch possibly made from part of a beer can (zinc sheet might be better?), generous amount of JB weld, covering well beyond the damaged area. Surface prep may be necessary depending on how corroded the steel is, but it won't be seen if you do it on the inside.
Even an inner tube patch would probably work temporarily - again, on the inside so pressure is holding the patch in place.

Thanks all, will give those a go.

Not familiar with JB Weld but just seen it on Google, will order some

I've had a hollow section in my lawn for as long as I can remember. I've had a few half-hearted attempts to remedy it but not been successful so now is the time to sort it.

So using the lawn edger and spade I cut an 'action - man stitches' design on the turf and start to fold it back

Both sides now dug out and fresh soil from elsewhere in the garden laid down in the middle

Normally easier to just buy a roll of matching hollows.
Just check if you have an unrelaid Imperial lawn,
as, of course, modern metric hollows won't quite align.

Yup, very good 😉

Squares of turf folded back over, watered well and tramped down

But it looks a bit like a grave so I moved to one side of it and started again, just digging out one side this time

Backfilled again and rolled the turf back

That's quite an edge

Watered well and tramped down again and looks much better.

Still got some digging and filling to be done but mostly sorted

Technical Trail Feature?

indeed, I already posted a vid of me riding my road bike around my kitchen in the Covid thread, may as well ride around the garden on my MTB

Buy a house with established plants. Neglect them.
This is a Montana, well actually I think it's at least 3 plants. It doesn't seem to really care whether it's watered or not, I've never fed it or mulched it.
It grows like crazy and I hack it back twice a year without any real grace.
Not much scent but thousands and thousands of flowers

Wives buried under patios are more difficult to detect.

Well that good to know in a way.
I'll try and be nice though :)

My first tomatoes.

Lesson learned to propergate on a windowsill indoors not in a shed that fluctuating between 5-40°C.

Exciting tho

Berberis is something I wouldn't like to climb through

the classic choice, and very effective. some asshat planted them purposelessly around our yard before we bough the place. I've had a miserable time getting rid of them.

I’ve also been on fence duty, last couple of a mammoth effort (all sides of the property) that I’d been putting off as I wanted to set them into the ledge. I never want to lift another fucking concrete post in my life.

And today I finally put back together a ridiculous climbing frame I got for cheap on eBay. This is not how I envisaged my garden.

I'm in a similar stage of life. Just built a sandbox, a swing-set and a tire swing in our backyard. afterwards I started ripping around our yard on the mountain bike and dropping off the retaining wall, citing "we can all have fun here". wife wasn't particularly bothered, unfortunately.

The other classic is pyracantha
