    It is amazing amount of work you have done with a Senior workforce. When the crew go home do you have some younger friends you could invite, they would have a lot to live up to. The crew you have now have worked so hard and accomplished so much, their work ethics are incredible. Applause, applause, applause.

    I do think reinstating the original sun dial is a great idea. One concern I have is that you are creating a beautiful vista which extends down to the various terraced levels. I would be cautious about having anything that will grow to a great height in the middle because you could lose the grand view that you have now been opening up. Yew trees in the middle in the formal garden that grow unchecked might be too much. But of course they can be pruned and shaped. At any rate, I do love seeing the collective enthusiasm and effort set forth, and think your progress is remarkable! Kudos!

    Hi to all the family. Ash, you said that you were looking to put bark chippings in the beds, would you consider putting them down before you start planting, that way you could get rid of all the tyres/plastic and then get a rough idea of what it would look like. All you would have to do then is shove the bark to one side as you are planting and put the bark back around the plants. Sue Laban

      Soil/compost UNDER mulch - finish with bark mulch ON TOP to suppress weeds. The bark will break down to enrich the soil beneath it. If it is UNDER the soil/compost, it will rob Nitrogen as it breaks down. Never dig mulch layer into the soil layer beneath.
