  • This is another visit to one of our apartment blocks...I shall call it the quarry from now on. This bank of sandstone has been left un pruned for 20yrs. Watch how it gets brought back into shape and make planted up later in year. There will be a few videos from this site so it will be in the playlist as ' the quarry"
    This will look fabulous when finished. Check out our other videos and SMASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON and don't forget to press the bell so you get notifications on new videos #listentolee
    Buy Lee a coffee 😊

    One of my Hendon spring pins fell apart last week. Despite finding the spring and ring I searched high and low for the pin. This morning I had a eureka moment and remembered this video. Shook the leg and sure enough I could hear the pin. Drilled a10mm hole in the foot and the pin fell out. All reassembled and working. Thanks for the tip Lee. LHL to the rescue 👍

    Lee you do work and the area immediately improves. Then whole area looks lighter, brighter and cared for. Excited to see the progression.

    I bet that was higher, steeper, and ‘slippyer’ than the camera showed. Not many gardeners need a safety harness! Looking fab already. Oh, and umm, did somebody mention “shredding”? Can’t wait!😛

    anyone crying about roots stabilizing the soil - a well taken care of plant will have stronger roots and smaller "top" meaning it'd reinforce the soil better overall. Weeds aren't known to establish nice strong roots. Healthy grass, however... Anyone who's tried to lift nice turf with a shovel will know.
