        went on an explore around the back of the greenhouse this morn. found two compost bins made out of pallets full of lovely compost :wow: from when mum could get to them.

        started to fork it out and put it on the big border (on the right) for her. only thing is the compost-able bags the council supply to put food waste in haven't composted:doh: so my fork keeps getting stuck on streams of plastic bag:scratch:
        Going to bed early tonite as hubby and i have a day of digging ahead of us tomorrow

          If your mum is in a wheelchair CRG, how is she going to get to the back of the garden? It looks like you are laying bark on the footpath.
