    wow nice score courty! a fair bit of maintenance there looks like a good job. god I hate grass into gravel edges like that though! such a pita, especially if it gets a bit long. have to get them to throw in a bit of product after a long hot day tioling in their yards!

    It looks familiar. I reckon I have been there before. Do they brew their own beer like a good english pub should.

    Nice one, I've been thinking of advertising this sort of thing at set prices for set sizes. Have you done many, do people go for them?

    done a fair few as garden beds (different sizes) this is the first no dig I've done and they are quite labour and time intensive - unless you have access to a friendly farmer, they can be pretty pricey to set up re the price of lucerne & pea mulch, manure etc

    Just thought I'd throw this pic up of the old man as an ode to a generation of bloody hard workers.This is the back of my block that has been over due for a slash,the pic doesn't do the incline justice,lucky to stand still on it let alone swing the Stihl.The old bugger turns 69 in a few weeks and still works like he's 30. I get a call nearly every night from him wanting to know whats on for tomorrow and do I need him to help.

    Good on your Dad Courty. Makes me wish mine was in my life for my boys' sake.

    One tip, if I may, I found when working on steep areas like that is that is seems a liitle easier to work your way up the hill rather than down. Feels like it lets me stand a little straighter, easier on the back and I retain better balance.

    If possible, I work across the slope.

    Nothing special but I thought I would join in on the fun.. The photo with all the hedging takes me 4 hours to hedge and mow I am always glad when that one is done but the money is good..
