Monday 14th of November 2016
A damp start today - little bit of drizzle - not good for digging and barrowing - there would be mud everywhere.
So today - plan B.
Two trips to the tip - my poor little car - full to the roof with huge poly bags of garden waste - shredded bushes - rotten timber and bush roots.
Jackie helped to sort it all out at the tip - we go so often that we know the routine well !
The worst job is the bag of chicken and dog poo - Erghhhh !
We have a dedicated small wheelie bin for it - lined with a really thick poly bag - the bin and bag dosed with Jeyes Fluid. We slide the bag out with the bin tilted forward and the bag drops into a big soft plastic builders bucket / tote. - in summer the pong is bad, so we tie wrap the neck of the bag, but today was not so bad.
The bucket stops any drips and makes it easy to carry the bag with it's two handles. - it all goes for composting with the garden waste at the tip.
Then tidy up everywhere - hose down the paths - sort out the potting shed.
No progress with digging today - the forecast looks like the same tomorrow - it might be dry enough in the afternoon - Wednesday looks better.
Mike.
