    we need topsoil to raise that part of the garden. Ive already planted Alot of shrubs etc around there to try and build a root system to help with drainage. But his demeanour is constantly negative because of his illness....he always finds a negative in my ideas. Sometimes nagging is the only way :rotfl::rotfl:

    But if you just put topsoil on the clay subase, it will still flood. Wont it?

    How do you cut the grass, does the lawnmower not cut the wires??

    After last years rain that part if the garden has no grass:( but if it did I'd just unplug the pump, lift the wire and do it. Like I said it's a temporary measure

    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 :o

    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! :o

That was 30 years ago but time (and some neglect:o) has taken it's toll and I need to get back to a blank canvas and start again with something a bit less labour intensive for the years ahead.
