Technically yes (I think) Realistically No

Oh Artha, you are so lovely:)

Would you like to be the cupboard in my utility room. It's full of all sorts of amazing valuable stuff:)

I had to do the same in mine when we first moved in and I started landscaping the garden. 25 tonnes of topsoil, 20 tonnes of manure, 5 tonnes of sharp sand and mine is still soggy clay in places. Doesn't help that the house is built on an old stream bed:( (stream is in a culvert under the front gardens)

it's hard work! my to do list gets longer all the time. So much still needs doing inside this place as well as outside

As they say hindsight is wonderful. If I'd had the advantage of it 5 years ago I wouldn't have bought a great big project like this one!

Ahh, still not as good as proper home made ones. You need to get some.

Well get those wires sunk FC!! But yes, a good idea. Sink a bin in the ground with some mesh or something over it, then just switch the pump on when the garden starts to flood.

What you mill your own flour and skim and dry your own milk from Ermentrude do you :rotfl:

Elephant projects are best tackled one tiny step at a time. You'll get there FC. If the weather would only improve it would be a huge shot in the arm:) wouldn't it:)

Just take your time and totally worth it in the end. I want a new project desperately!

I don't want to sink the wires. Out of sight, out of mind the wires remind me to moan about it and encourage OH to help with a permanent solution
