I have a bit of a problem.
Very small garden, 25 years of growing, much in pots, needing frequent
replacement of compost, and thus getting rid of old stuff.
Until 8 years ago I could take it up to the allotment and dump it
there. *Having had to give up driving I can no longer do that.
Hence the level of my garden has risen somewhat. The soil is rising up
against a new fence I had put in 2 years ago. *I had it installed
quite low in order to keep next doors rabbit out!
What I think I need is some pieces of rigid plastic, about 8 - 10
inches high and the length of a fence panel, ie 6 feet, which I could
push down into the soil on the fence line, to hold back the soil, just
to protect the fence.
In your tours of fencing suppliers etc have any of you seen anything
like this or is there anywhere I can get such a thing.

I wish you lived near to me. *Old compost is excellent stuff to go on
the veggie garden :-)
Won't a neighbour take it away for you?

There is someone who will take some of it, but it's not the same as
just bunging a sack in your own boot! *We have a bank of shrubs
between the housese and the road and i empty some there. *Nobody
objects but there's a limit!

bag it & freecycle it. Thre's always a grateful taker.

When I first moved to my present house there was an old gravel path
which I didn't want. *It was not "nice" gravel. I put an advert in my
local newsagent and had several people happy to come with a barrow and
take it away. *I could have got rid of 4 times the amount.
In this case I don't have enough compost for such a means of disposal.
It's a small amount on a frequent basis.
Thanks for the suggestion.

You could fill a few strong poly sacks, like the 70 litre compost
bags, punch some holes in the base and grow potatoes i them, then
after use they will be ready for someone to take away.

Great idea David, but I have nowhere to put them!
My garden is at saturation point!
