Now this is where that theory goes a bit t*ts up.

Roundup was sprayed when the beds were covered in carpet so no glyphosate touched the soil i was digging. However, on my other plot which as sprayed several times during summer straight onto soil, it has an absolute abundance of lovely big dendrobenas !!!!!

Bit of an update. Took down the old tin shed this week, it was an absolute swine to do !!!!

Preparing new base for the new shed to go on....soil nicely compacted followed by a 2" layer of sharp sand, again compacted and cement raked into the sand then crazy paved using broken slabs already on the plot. The wind has been horrendous this week so it's not been easy. Little bit more to finish.
