To reclaim 6 square metres of garden, more like 8 hours of hard labour when I factor in the initial clearing of tree stumps, brambles and ivy. This means another 3-4 mornings to finish the central border. I can already envision it as finished and its going to have a big impact on the garden. I think it is time well spent, though it tells me this garden project is not going to be a quick fix. I think the garden will be unrecognisable when all is done.
The concrete border and stepping stones were already there, buried under mud
