In between heavy rain and high winds, we are still trying to get it ready. The water table in the rear garden is quite high and the soil inside is currently very wet and heavy.
Taking 1/3rd of it at a time, to save our backs, it has been dug out to a spades depth. This wet soil has been put to one side ready for compost and leaf mould to be added. 3 bags of grit has been added to what was left and dug in. Both our backs were hurting so we stopped.
Two days later we decided to half empty a new bed from last year and transfer it’s soil to the greenhouse. So far so good but it could all be a waste of time it we keep having such heavy rain:(
Still the other third to do. The middle third will have gravel added as a path.
I hope that the rain stops soon and that the soil you transferred works out.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I hope you get the greenhouse set up soon. We have had rain on Monday and the tulip farm my daughter and I visited on Tues had a lot of mud!! I did finally get a small greenhouse to get our strawberry plants inside with some seeds to grow soon. A bit cold Sat afternoon but ok on a walk after we came back from a wedding in town. More rain this week. Better than the hail that makes temperature cold again!
