I haven't given this border any attention for a year and what with the roots from the shrubs and the tree plus the hens stomping over it to peck at the seeds the wild birds dropped. It was completely compacted and needed some decent compost to feed the plants and sand to help with the drainage. So before adding almost six bags of sharp sand and a large bag of compost l had to dig up the original plants so I could properly dig the area over without damaging anything too much.
Lola decided that the opportunity to eat worms was too good not to get involved.
A casualty; the first trowel I used bent in half so it was onto the next one!
