Hi Sunbeam! I'll let you into my secret too - I'm in my PJs when I'm checking over my back garden! Hopefully not too many neighbours are looking! I've also been known (in the past) to take Dexter out for walkies in my PJs as well. Ha ha! dexterdog

I once needed to aerate the lawn but I had a bad back. Instead of struggling lifting the gardening fork etc, I put on an old pair of high heels and walked around the lawn carefully.

It might have looked weird, but it worked well.

High heels!

I hope you were wearing the appropriate evening dress &'up-do'!!! Show the neighbours that us gardeners are not all filthy, grubby-nailed, well boot clad individuals (or is that just me!!?? )

Can I let you into a secret??? I actually find digging the garden quite theraputic...especially when you can turn around and see how much you've done. I was out there this morning at about 730am giving it a good going over!

Thats why I've got my lottie divided into 4'0" beds, I can turn around after a short digging session and feel I have achieved something!

Yes...one of the guys on our old site put down foam backed carpet and when he pulled it up 2 or 3 yrs later, the foam had broken up and made a mess of the ground. goodness knows what chemicals it was releasing as it degenerated

Bet his soil had plenty of water retention though!
