Been watching a thread by a guy who grows around 72 cuts at a time in 20 oz bottles, and he reckons he is getting 1/4 oz dry off each cut, with almost no veg time. Late in the day, we realise that we can’t be too relaxed with some of the areas of Celandine in the lower meadow copse if we want to establish more delicate things like the Primula sieboldii – so I dig as deep as possible with the long handled de Wit weeding tool. That evening we get news that Andy Lewis is sending over Owen to chip our brash, and Rhyddian is dropping off the ribs for the SH roof, and oak boards for the floor.

Togged up in waterproof gear, marigolds and respirator/solvent mask, I’m dripping after 3 hours in the late afternoon sun.

I tie in/ cut back several of the rambling roses in the lower meadow copse – there’s a small window of opportunity to do this, before the new growth becomes so vigorous,a s to be impossible to achieve. All in all, it took me 12 hours to have it complete and I've only changed lighting and added a 2nd veg space since then. Once we have verified your information we will reissue the number of tickets that you had remaining.

Your permit starts from the month that you receive it and you cannot visit more than 12 times during any 12 month period. Together we spread cardboard sheets over all the areas meticulously weeded out, and weigh this down with remnants of bark chippings and cut grass.

l paint some more Yorkshire boards with creosote ready to tackle the central veg garden path once visitors have finished for the year. Medical and chemical waste is hazardous, particularly if handled without the correct safety equipment. Start with the closest branches then realise that the first cut, and debarked ones are much lighter.When filling your skip, start with any heavy bulky items first, laying them flat and working up from the bottom of the skip, saving any small, loose items for the end. I am making beds to cover the whole of the back garden, except for the patio area near to the house (where the compost sacks are). We’ve got a materials recycling facility, highly mechanised, bag splitters, trommels, ballistic separators, conveyor belts, magnets to take off steel, other things to take off aluminium. Apart from a bit of hand weeding through the year to remove fine grasses, this area requires almost no maintenance apart from this. Minor panic when the temporary brace which we had in place at the front, pending knocking up the doorway frames, has its fixing screw removed and the whole SH side walls ping inwards by 6 inches.

One will have a mix of flowers and herbs – I transplanted some Yarrow, self heal and plantain from the lawn in as well. You can apply for a permit if the vehicle is registered to a business, as long as you have the company’s permission to use the vehicle for personal use and you are only transporting household waste.

Since 2022, we’ve planted 11 acres of wildflowers and sunflowers and installed 12 beehives near one of our freshwater lagoons in Nantycaws. I tried switching an existing flower bed to a no dig bed recently – I put down cardboard and covered with a thick layer of manure. Some snowdrops may be sold to garden visitors, others can be planted out later in the year in new locations. I always enjoy this work, now that in most areas of the garden it’s less onerous after many years of rigorous zero tolerance.
