I've bought 2 lemons and a lime, as well as a plum and may get some more.
They will be planted on the north and west sides of the yard. I'm going to
put a raised garden bed in the north west corner, I just have to work out
how best to level the ground a bit more. It will need breaking up with
something and some dirt moved to other areas of the yard. I have to work out
what to do with the nasty compacted lump that was in the compost bin. It was
not working well. Does anyone find a worm farm is better?

If it's a raised bed, why would you be moving dirt away? Oh, and just throw
teh undigested compost into the future bed.

We will need to get a lot of pine mulch to put around to keep weeds under
control.

Ring your council -- see what they do with chipped street trees. Mine will
dump a load of chips on my driveway on their way home.
