Title: WANTED
Post by: TrailRat on July 18, 2004, 18:17:40
WANTED

A few good gardeners, with equipment, to assist one newbie in the deforestation of plot. Equipment required rake, fork, scythe, sickle, spade etc. Payment: A drink down the local. When required next sunday, time 12 noon. Location: Enfield Playing Fields, Carterhatch Road, Enfield, North London.

I am very serious about this as I (me and my fiancee that is) have just spent 6 hours pulling and raking weeds and more just seem to be underneath, found a patch of soil the size of a teatowel. ;D Still trying to dig up the borders that define my plot and the soil is so uneven on my plot it makes Everest look flat  ;D OK slight understatment. Also found out my neighbour used to use the plot as a dumping ground for all his cast of vegetation and soil >:(. This will stop. So come one, come all to the fun day out for all the family.

Let me get this straight, Trailrat.
You've "cleared" the site and found one patch of soil the size of a tea towel. Your garden design is simple: plant a piece of mint in your one piece of soil and it will soon cover your entire garden. ;D
Garden consultancy fee (payable within 10 days, else interest charged at 10% per month): £200.

Ahhhhhh poor consultant never read the brief, I never said I have cleared the site. Just a small section of it the size of a teatowel. Fee waived.
