  • This was just a patch of type 1 hardcore prior to lockdown.

    Beds were made with spare shutter ply and wood scraps. Filled with topsoil, covered with a layer of cardboard and topped with a mixture of leaf compost and household compost. Installed irrigation dripper system this week.

    Next I need to start attaching some of the taller bean and pea plants to the hazel frames. Also I ought to find out what needs pruning and how to do it. About 60% is stuff I have grown from seeds and the rest were seedlings neighbours left on my doorstep - traded for wild garlic or sourdough loaves.

    Have also included a picture of the salad/herb trug too.

  • Got it!

    We have roe and muntjac round here and want to deter them.

    Also when our dogs see us digging in the garden they sometimes try to imitate and “help” by also digging so it stops them too.
