the tidying continues

Filed under: diary — Trefor Davies @ 3:40 pm

The tidying at the bottom of the garden continues. You know, the bit behind the greenhouse, next to the side of the shed. My objective is to have a compost heap in place by the time THG gets home tomorrow. Lots of old crap to extract from the ground. Rotting bits of fence that need to go on the skip whilst we still have it. I have two pallets, one old hardwood garden table top and a bit of fence panel to use. The fence panel is a bit flimsy but we’ll have to see how we get on with it. The biggest ball ache is carting the rotting old bits of wood to the skip. Will be foine. Taking a short break to consume a can of diet coke and watch some cricket.

We used to have a compost heap in the corner where the shed now stands. It eventually made way for the wendy house that became a garden store when the kids stopped playing with it. The wendy house made way for the shed. We still have one of the panels, now used as a wall for the “secret” garden. For a number of years now the compost heap has been one of those plastic jobs purchased from B&Q but we really need one that will take all the garden detritus, much of which goes in the green bin.

Found some useful slabs of York stone in the ground with the rotting fence which is a result. You can’t have too much York stone. A few years ago we bought a load leftover from a job on Facebook Marketplace. I had just taken delivery of the brand new Land Rover Defender and one of its first jobs was to bring back half a ton of stone with the rear seats laid flat. What’s not to like?
