When we planned Plot 28B we had no idea we would end up with next door. So this is the area we came up with outside the shed door, a row of composting bins, followed by a 1ft flower bed, followed by a small seating area. To create the seating area we put weed guard down first the chucked stones on top. 
It wasn't quite what we wanted, for a start, munching lunch right next to stinky compost bins would never have been ideal, and I had dreamt of lots of cottage garden flowers as well as cutting flowers and various bulbs. Unfortunately space was at a premium so no more than a row of flowers would have to do. Once we took on the extra plot however, we were no longer as limited for space for anything! All the ideas I had shelved could now be a possibility and I spent a few days re-planning and drew up a new plan for both plots. That included a change around of this area.
Today's job was to move 2 full compost bins, as well as two empty ones to the other plot, after levelling off an area and weed guarding it first. Of course nothing can ever go completely smoothly, and I spend about 2 hours digging out a bucket full of broken glass! Once the bins were in place I then had the joyous task of moving lots of half composted compost, complete with angry ants and plenty of other crawlies. I also added 9 bags of fresh pony manure to the end bin. I saved a space for a husband project on the end, so keep a look out for a post in the future.
This means we can extend our seating area, and have a bigger flower bed. Finishing this should
