With my mobility problems and back problems gardening can be a real pain
Seriously though. The top of my garden has been a wilderness for years. I never touched it and half the time I couldn't even get to the compost bin!
I decided to try and do something with it this year, and with nothing more than a light garden fork and a few hours a day over 3 days I created this.
It was hard work, but I only did a few hours a day over 3 days and I now have beans and peas growing there along wits a makeshift fruit cage with potted Gooseberries and currents.
I can also now getc to the compost bin easily too!
To be honest when I started I realy thought nothing short of a motorised strimmer and a small digger with a couple of nice gents to do the work would be of any use.
Just get started girl! Ano hour or two a day in the early morning before it gets too hot, or in the evening, followed by a nice be average of some sort will work wonders with the space, give you a sense of achievement and keep the neighbours happy.
What's to loose?
Now mine is done, and it's only half the width of the area it takes about ten minutes of an evening to water and keep weed free. I shall be eating fresh peas and beans into the bargain.
( bear in mind I was cutting knee high grass with scissors too!)
I wish I'd done before photos, but I realy did not think it would turn out so well.
I've still got the area between the compost bin and the fence to sort,and a huge pile of sticks and stuff to burn sometime to get the rest of it cleared, but I have plans for a little summer house to go there as my fantasy log cabin. Who knows when that will happen but it will by next summer I'm determined!
Just get stuck in with a strimmer to get it all down then you can see where to go from there.
Build a compost heap. 3 pallets tied or screwed together and pile it all in.
Tengu... if I can do what I did.. you certainly can do what you need to do.
Start and complete one area a day even if it's only a square metre at a time like me.I'm sure you can manage more than that. At least two square metres a day
Most of all have a bit of fun in the jungle.
