This is the second post about my back/neck breaking efforts on my section.

I had this thick ivy covered retaining wall, which I cleared last spring, another garden/section task after making raised garden bed.

The end result was again very satisfying. But I was also left with piles of debris. Some I moved to a part of back section where it could slowly decay and go back to earth. …

Some loose stuff looked to make reasonable leaf mould if left alone, which I then could use to improve the soil in my newly created raised garden beds.

Now the raised beds. The way my section is sloping and my house is situated, meant a part of my front yard where one of the beds was did not get sun light until late morning. I didn't realise that when I was constructing the beds during early spring. Now the growing season was near, I needed to do something about it.

This image shows how I rectified the situation the hard way. (Follow the link to the album page. Note the image is again a large animated gif, 1.7MB this time, so you may have to wait if you are on a slow connection.) A typical example of why I titled my blog "Hard Life" :doh:
