Bit of hard manual labour today! Digging out the old raised beds because they’re riddled with grass. I’ll set them up again with lasagna filling (compost, pea straw, chicken manure) after I’ve prepped the whole area. Last time I just dug out the area where I was putting the beds and laid some newspaper - I’m going to be a bit more thorough this time, now I know how aggressive the grass is.

Digging out the beds is proving quite hard work as I need to loosen everything with a mattock first, then be very careful about the edges as the metal is not rigid.

Looks a big job @Bismuth . 

I should spread compost and plant out a few things.  

I've been more diligent about watering my pots of orchids and some have put on new growth .
