About a year ago, I bought an unnecessary hedge-trimmer. My neighbour, who always kept the hedge between our fronts trimmed, was moving.

As it happened, the new neighbour was well-equipped and happy to do my side.

It’s not a great secret that I had let my garden get way past being unruly. This was partly due to my tendency to procrastinate, but also worsened by disheartened a couple of times when I might have done something about it.

4 years ago, I got some guys in to do some work for me, and they were a disaster – I ended up sending them packing. One of the things they did was fill all 4 of my veg troughs with clay, topped with about half an inch of compost – instead of the “good soil” they had quoted.
