To try to explain why I ham clearing the area! I owned the house last summer so I saw the garden last year, a jungle and not what I want. It was a good example of the wrong plants being planted in the wrong place, it was originally planted about 25 years ago and all the Bob A fascinating read, thanks. Do you have plans for what you want to achieve with your garden? It sounds as if you will be able to create a few different distinct areas within your garden. You need to do the basics first like work out where the sun rises and sets and winds blow from. What soil type you have Acid Alkali and if is is light (sandy) or heavy(clayey). Get a feel for how good the soil structure is and look around to see what other gardeners are growing. Then work up a design for each area that you plan to develop. With all that space you can afford to keep stuff you may want later. So I would be tempted to keep the trunks of the conifers. You mau want to make some more informal types of raised beds or banking somewhere in the garden. And lastly, take photographs as you go. Nice project Phil |
