I do all sorts really

I have a contract at a big country house where I do all the gardening grow there veg look after the couple of acres of woods and river, tennis courts, swimming pool etc, this is 20 hours a week and is my main income

But also I do moles and wasps

I also have a 4 acre smallholding which takes a lot of my time up

Just starting to grow a few thousand evergreen hedging plants to sell each year, maybe just on eBay or might do a small website not sure yet, I'm hoping this will take off and expand so I could go to work each day at my own holding, that's the dream for me

Do you put an airogation system on the bigger trees
That one had been root balled and ground anchored then used for a demonstration with the irrigation pipe and root trainer around it for several years but normally our trees are field grown and naturally watered. We are doing more trees in pots now too.

Was a messenger for a travel agent in London for about a year then joined the railway. Did 35 years of silly shiftwork mostly as a train driver at a mainly freight locomotive depot, now been retired for 8 years after applying for redundancy at 53.

 

Here's me bringing a set of empty aggregate wagons through Ealing Broadway, back to the southern region for refilling.
