Lucky for me, our nephew Mike had time off from university recently. And lucky for John, he likes to come stay at Struan Farm and work around the property to help with his school fees.
This holiday one of his projects was to replace the soil in the raised rock garden we are re-making. This garden had been riddled with a terrible weed, twitch. To such an extent that it had become impossible to weed the bed, so we were left with no choice but to remove the soil and entirely re-do the garden. A few months ago a friend of ours and I removed all of the flowers, bulbs, and dahlia tubers, but the weedy soil awaited removal and replacement. Not really a fun job from my perspective.
Enter Mike, with fresh topsoil.
I can now re-plant the dahlia tubers we took out and organize plants for the rest of the bed. Much more fun, with thanks to Mike!
