Nasty Surprise

We thought clearing out the rubbish from the old garden would be a matter of poisoning the weeds and ripping them out.


But the previous owners left us a surprise.


When we got rid of the weeds we found some stones. Well, not some stones, lots of stones. And underneath the stones, black plastic. And underneath that plastic more stones, and underneath those more stones, more black plastic!


Mulching 1970s style.


So what was supposed to be a weekend job looks like it will be week-neverending job...
