Seeing With New Eyes
Discovering together

There’s loads of it in our garden (our house is only 6 years old).  I’m getting quite used to digging out huge paving slabs and bits of house brick but I’ve just started digging over an area to plant out some comfrey and hit a really large bit of red stone stuff.  I don’t think I’ll be able to dig it out and if I leave it, the bed will be too shallow for the comfrey which, according to an allotment website, needs a deep bed :-(  Not sure where else I can put it now…will have to get my thinking cap on!  Stupid garden!  It had better produce some very good veg after all the back-breaking work I’m having to do to prepare the ground!

  1. What about a raised bed in that area?

  2. That’s a good idea about the raised bed - do you need any wood to make it?
