Narrow sloping garden lockdown challenge complete.
We bought our new build two years ago. Before lockdown we had 5 plants in it! This was due to the soil. It was impossible to get a spade into it at all. It was all grass which
had been green through plastic mesh. We are located on the coast so wind destroy lots of young plants so plant choice needed lots of research.
We decided to tier the slope to save cost. We imported around 9 tons of top soil and 50 bags of well rotted manure. We used sleepers to make raised beds around the perimeter and dry stone walking dug into slope.
For the patio we made a wave effect to try and make the garden feel wider. We over sowed white clover to deal with the grass. It had loads of leather jackets which were and still are eating the grass.
