                My first thought would be a rockery @wiseowl giving your garden a little height without making you feel dizzy. :) A couple of ideas below.....

                  Good morning @Sheal lovely idea but I am afraid that getting all the rocks from the road to the garden might be just a tad to much,but thank you for your kind and friendly input my friend,I would like to make it a wildlife area with a lot of plug plants and then just let it do what it wants,but half of the area is almost very wet and in the shade:smile:

                    Great idea to make that raised bed into a raised pond; you would get the best of both worlds then :thumbsup:

                    Lovely to hear you speak of Gypsy too :doggieshmooze:

                      Thank you @"M" Hello I have decided to convert one of my raised bed to a pond as I do like the sound of running water,so I am in the process of removing all the soil from the raised bed and spreading it over the area which I am levelling off,this might help with the wet and cloggy soil,its wet and cold out there but hey someones got to do it:smile:

                        You say the ground is boggy @wiseowl, perhaps you could use part of it for a bog garden. That would attract insects and perhaps the occasional frog or toad. :)
