    the big bins might look a mess but i use them to collect the oak leaves for leaf mold. the water but in the second photo leaks so that is used for leaf Mold as well and somewhere under the builders sacks in the third photo is a mountfield lawnmover that I seized the engine on when I used it without topping the oil up?One day I will take it to the dump along with the rusty wheelbarrows. Maybe

    Nothing wrong with a bit of mess, a clinical garden offers nothing for wildlife. As Bill Oddie once said on Springwatch, 'say yes to mess'.

    MU the nice bit of fence was put in last year by my concrete gardener neighbor. They have even put plastic spikes on top to try to keep the squirrels out?

    My fences are patched to to within a inch of their useful life

    Sunny, you need to turn the old wheelbarrows upside down, like I did, and you may get wild bees in them thinking they're hives. Mine had 4 honeycombs but I didn't want to disturb them.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Lizzie I might just do that. Will it work if I put them under some shady trees the other side of the shed or do bees look for sunny spots?
