Earth!



 Two tons of topsoil are in, and nice looking earth it is..plus a ton of soil improver, in other words bought composted material. 

An investment worth doing we think. No, we won't get our money back in fresh fruit and veg, but it will help us grow decent produce as soon as possible instead of slogging it out for five or ten years. 

Which, at 81, Pirate doesn't want to do!!


So today has been a day off if sorts.  A bike ride around the lanes at lunchtime even though it was a low cloud grey day. No washing, no housework, and just packing up one small parcel , an eBay sold bike bit. 

The hopes that the local yobs won't be harrassing our neighbour again..it started again last night, just when we all thought it had finished.

What a great job - so many rewards to come!

A wise investment (the soil) will make not only better growing medium and happier veg next year, it will be so much easier to work with and keep in good condition as apposed to trying to improve existing soil to the same level.

Shame about the yobs and your neighbour.

That soil looks like crumbly chocolate cake!

How wrong, the harassment of your neighbor.

The yobs might make nice compost... (just joking...).

Looks like you will have somewhere warm to grow your veges over Winter. I feel for your neighbours though.

Your green house looks very nice. Forgive me for asking but are you filling the whole floor with soil?

Pure gold, an investment you don’t need to justify when you think of the rewards. I feel for your neighbour, what a horrible experience. If only money could buy his peace in the same way you have to enrich your yours...
