The builders used an area of lawn to park on for the whole of last winter. For most of that tthey used sheets of ply to pretect the soil somewhat. Then at the end they packed up and took the ply away but people kept parking there and it rained - a lot. Needless to say it turned into a mudpit. Rihoys agreed to sort it out for us and get a man with a rotivator in to decompact the soil. So he came and went and we're finally able to reclaim the space and start doing stuff to it.
It will be home to more edible stuff. On plan so far are a small sweet cherry tree, rhubarb, sea kale, artichokes, raspberries and gooseberries. The path is all the left over patio stone which Meriel has managed to tesselate.
