About me
I have been gardening for nearly 20 years and have redeveloped gardens in our own houses and for friends.

Gardening expertise
Very Keen

Biggest gardening accomplishments
Converting a derelict, overgrown piece of land (50ft x 100ft) into a potager with raised beds and a small orchard underplanted with wild flowers.

The gardening project I am currently working on
Extending the vegetable beds. Like many modern homes our soil is compacted and poor. I'm digging out the clay and chalk and mixing in large quantities of home made compost, sand and manure.
