On the way home from town, we stopped off at our little garden centre and ordered:
10 bags of manure and 10 bags of soil improver, which were delivered later in the day. Unfortunately for them, they went to what they thought was our village, instead of using the post code we gave them. Ah well, got here eventually. Still good service despite that.
The area we are currently renovating is sadly lacking enough soil so lots of the surrounding soil will be raked in then all the area treated to manure and soil improver.
Final purchases will be plants and a crab apple tree to replace the Bramley we removed. Might even send for some fruit trees (to grow as cordons) that are happy in light shade.
It's going to be lovely once all the work is done, and this is a brilliant time of year to be doing it all. You can take it slowly over the Winter and plan how you want it to be for next year.
ReplyDeleteI will have to spend on plants eventually but that may have to wait as it may be a month or two before the fence gets changed.
