stripeybunny Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) 4 months ago our garden looked like a rubbish tip. We built raised beds and a WIR at the end of the garden. Our WIR is an irregular shape with a tree in the middle so we built a wooden frame first and then covered it in wire. The roof is corrugated plastic. The edges are paved (with one edge resting on the brick path) and the floor is bare earth so we filled the run with fallen leaves which the girls love. Pictures of Rhubarb, Crumble and Custard on the 'Chickens' board. And no the chickens are not allowed on the lawn although for now at least they are allowed to scratch around in the raised beds! Before... ...and after [/url] and the WIR We also made some Grub and Glug holders Edited November 1, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 What a lot of hard work but it looks really good. I think you better go and put your feet up for the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhythmoid Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Wow - that WIR looks really very good indeed, great job. I'm sure that you'll want to do lots of baking to reward your OH for helping you build it. He particularly likes blackberry and apple pie.
