Mr Rotavator

We are currently preparing a huge new garden area for the new Health Spa and Fitness Suite, at Archerfield, East Lothian.

It is a walled garden, and I had originally planned for it to be a formal fruit garden with espalliers, cordons and box hedging. That has all changed, as these things do and it is now predominantly herbaceous perennials, with feature trees in the lawn and an orchard. It is a big area, so there is enough room for everything.

So we have been measuring, digging, spraying, digging, spraying and spreading lots of good farmyard gold...

...and then rotavating.

Its hot work. I even had to take my hat off
