Middle age fast approaching time to get my Garden on :-)

Good morning, saw this site whilst randomly browsing for info on the best thing to fill raised beds with loved it and joined it.

I am a complete beginner to all this but finding the process of planting, weeding, and general pottering strangely satisfying (my wife and daughter mantain it's my age).

Recently moved into a country cottage with 3rd of an acre with very clay soil and trying to make a go of it.

Looking forward to your help and advice.

Hi CANKSTER, welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome CANKSTER

I have a 1/4 acre and heavy clay soil and in two years of living here have only made small "improvements" but I am learning a lot from the lovely regulars on here

Looking forward to getting to know you

 

Nice to have you on board Cankster,
we're all as daft as brushes when it comes to growing things but it gets funny when the sun goes down ,

Welcome to GC Cankster. We look forward to your input around the site, we're a bit of a crazy bunch, but aren't most gardeners!?

 

Welcome from me too Cankster
I have a 3rd acre garden too on heavy clay!!!!!

 

Hello Cankster and welcome.

Yes, its your age. The imminent mid-life crisis. Your idea of a good night is no longer that you get drunk in some town without knowing how you got there and then sleeping at a stranger's house, but instead is a few cans in the house after some satisfying work in the garden. Or better still, sitting outside with a few tinnies even though you're freezing, because earlier that day you just finished the new patio.

I'm joking (I think). Welcome

 

Hi Cankster (or is that Crankster? )

I flooded more than half of my clayey back garden. That saved a lot of weeding and mowing.

(I put in a pond.) Food for thought?

 

Welcome Cankster. Happy Days :patpat:
