For two days now a pile of pure black gold has stood steaming on the drive. This lovely stuff is recycled garden waste from the local council and it will do the garden and its many new borders no end of good.
Year after year we imported this wholesome material into the garden at Linden Barn and by the time we left the soil looked almost volcanic. But it was wonderful for the plants which thrived. It also surpressed weeds and kept in the moisture while improving the very structure of the soil.
Our rather thin soil will be much improved by this vital material. But barrowing it around the garden is very hard work and I fully expect that by the end of this weekend I will be a wreck! Nevertheless, I assure myself it will all be worth while in the long run.
