Fun moving soil to the back garden

Shifting a tonne of soil

This looks like it’s going to be hard work, its a lot of soil to shift from the roadside to our back garden lol. We knew when we ordered a tonne of soil that we would have to move it to the back garden ‘manually’ ourselves with a couple of spades and a wheelbarrow, as we have no access for deliveries. Damn!!

All these great ideas, always seem to result in a little missing forethought on just how we are going to move the materials from point A to B. The rest of the construction/ideas have been planned and thought through, just not the deliveries…

Growing food in an urban setting

Just came across this post on the Waltons blog and thought it was worth sharing for all those urban dwellers who would like to grow their own food at home, but dont think they have the space. It’s a quick start up guide for those who need a little nudge to get started! 🙂

Heritage seed planting session

Well with this miserable weather outside, we thought today we should plant some more of our new heritage seeds! Though we are seriously lacking with available window space, we cannot put all of the seeds out in the greenhouse either as it’s still too cold at the moment. So we have been trying to plant our seeds in separate sittings, this was the second sitting and the rest of the seeds will have to wait until April. So Sherrie, her mother and i sat there in a mini production line, cleaning seed trays, filling them with soil, planting and labelling for a couple hours.
