I had never picked up a trowel in my life till I found Lee’s YouTube channel. Im 53. Now Im obsessed so I dont know whether to thank you or curse.
I have completely dug up all the garden borders front and back and put in drainage( was clay) and it took around 4 tones of organic compost. Dug a pond. That took all last year . now its ready for planting. We’re growing everything from seed so I expect all the perennials to take another year to mature. Well have to fill up with annuals this year.
our back garden is made up of 4 separate types of borders as its north facing . There is a dry shade border, a wet bog border, a full sun border and a semi shade border. So weve completely different plants going in each.
Anyway thanks for all the advice and heres to a great 2023.
