Hi all,

I know it probably seems like an odd request but I remember as a child that my grandparents had a plastic wind powered figure of a man chopping wood as one of their garden ornaments.

I have been trying without luck to find one of these for my own garden, corny I know but are they still available, if so from where?

Kind regards..,

Creating A New Bed

Hi all,

I am totally new to gardening so please bear with me.

After living in our current property for a little over four years now my wife and I decided that it was about time to create a nice welcoming area out in our back patio, which has been completely slabbed over since the house was built some twenty years ago.

I have lifted some of the slabs and cut others to create a nice shaped area and put in some edging at what will be the front of the bed.

Luckily on lifting the slabs I found that they where not mortared down but just laid on top of sand.

The soil below is rather clumpy and at one end seems more like clay.

We have been digging the soil over with a fork and this seems to be effective in slowly breaking up these clods.

Because we are raising the bed all over and actually making it quite high at the back, we need a little advice as to what to use to fill the bed.

We can get hold an unending supply of well rotted horse manure but guess that this on it's own would not be sufficient.

To bulk up the bed is it wise to incorporate the manure with compost and fork all this in with the current soil?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards..,
