Mice have been taking the heads of the Rubeckia and munching away on them safely below 🐭

Small fencing job in Guilford.
Concrete posts are always advisable due to their inability to eventually rot away.
However due to their weight it does mean you need at least two foot depth to the holes they go in.
I would usually suggest gravel boards be put under the fence to lift them off the damp, but in this case the client rather not have them.
If they decide to change their mind at least it is easy enough to lift out the fence and put some in.
These posts are 9ft posts, 2ft in the ground, apart from the first one because of a mains pipe, always be careful when digging.
The trellis will be added on top, hence why the posts are taller than the 6ft panels and not flush.

Job done.

Small clearance job, ready to be covered up for the winter.
Always nice to see the difference with before and after photos.

Autumn is upon us and compost bins are needed.
Always find an area away from the house, if possible, so you don’t have to smell it 🤧
Make it nice and large to accommodate as much as possible. You’ll find it fills up quickly.

Always be careful when digging around places such as old compost sites.
Little guys like this slow worm, Anguis fragility, can often be found there.

Small planting job.
Planting plans like these will make a difference to the dynamics of your garden, sometimes more than you could believe.

New compost bins built and ready to use and to finish off a fresh layer or Ash chip delivered buy my local tree surgeon. Makes the place just that little bit nicer.

The only way you are going to get better is by trying.

This job was in my garden. Me and a friend wanted to experiment with compost bins. Partly so we could build them during the winter when the gardening slows up and partly to just learn a new skill.

Always take the opportunity to learn something new, one day it may come in useful.
