Lawn recovery and a little custom planter!
This job was done in stages over the course of the summer, starting with clearing the unwanted materials from a lockdown veggie patch, followed by digging out the majority of invasive weeds, we then had to treat the really stubborn weeds with a strong herbicide (which is always a last resort!), then we could apply fertiliser and top soil to feed the ground and level the surface….finally fresh seeds were applied and watered well and regularly.
Definitely a long process to recover a lawn sometimes but the end result is worth it!
The planter is made from corten steel sheets and features a little tiny pond area for the frogs 
(I found soo many hiding in the long lawn and weeds when we started the clearance so I felt like I had to give them a little habitat to enjoy!)
