Looks lovely OWG!!
If I weren't so much into GYO I'd think it'd be a pity to dig it up!!!
I'm sure it'll look great when you've finished.
A fantastic project!!
Get the Radox ready

The field looks nice, but its all potholed and covered with brambles and thistles etc!

We're going to try and get the other half of the field levelled and re-sown as "proper" grass (i.e. more well behaved)

It really does look lovely OWG and I'm sure it will be stupendous when you have it done. Enjoy the doing - and do keep the pics coming.

Mrs D, have to say your two plots are shaping up just great. Its amazing how much you and Mr. D have achieved in such a short space of time.
Good luck this coming season. It will all be well deserved.

Looks like someone is going to be quite busy over the coming months! Keep us posted OWG! I love to see project piccies before and after!


PS Might be worth hiring a turf lifter and storing all the decent turves upside down for use as compost!

Aha, the turf cutter is coming tomorrow! We're hiring one for the weekend!
