I've just spent a while trying to dig out an old larch stump next to where the leafmould pile used to be. I had a good go at it last year and had...
Yes I noticed the song of the pressure washer most of the time I was out in the garden today. What are people washing so much? How did they wash...

Had a thought after I got inside - all those areas where I spread new earth are going to look like the perfect loo to the neighbourhood cats! So I...
