And finally, this is a closeup of the edging I put in - this will serve as a retaining fence so that I can back fill and bring the level of the bed higher up towards the height of the patio (currently it is about 30cm/14" below the patio surface) The fencing will last probably about 2 years before it too breaks down and becomes part of the compost. By then it should be fairly stable. I did manage to get the cardboard down after taking these photos, and then the rains came - so now all I have to do is find several cubic metres of stuff to fill it up with.

don't you just love it when you start a new project in the midst of another project (or 2) and then when dh says "ummmm..." you just shrug, smile and say they are all part and parcel! Actually, I think most dh learn not to comment on quantity and stick with quality. Wise men, or is that wise guys? Well, never mind, it is progress. Of a sort.
