Rotten greenhouse base




Boy, did I have fun today!
Despite the weather.
The task today was to replace the rotten wooden base of a 8x6 greenhouse.
The greenhouse had never been anchored to the ground, and so, in the high winds of this winter, looked like a flexible Triclinic crystal, and had waltzed half way across a very large garden. As you can see in the picture, it was just a matter of jacking the whole thing up; moving it back onto it's concrete platform; removing the old base; installing a new base, and then screwing and bolting it all down so that short of a major earthquake (which doesn't happen very often in Eastbourne) it ain't going to move anywhere for some time to come. It wasn't too much for two people to do - the only trouble was - I was on my own! It took most of the day, but in the end I got the job done! Despite all the winter storms buffeting, all of the waltzing across the garden, and all the moving I did with it, only three panes of glass were broken, and in case you don't know it - greenhouse glass is very thin and fragile!!!

Paul Green - Landscape Gardener


I was working in Langney today, and met a really interesting guy, Paul Green. He's a landscape gardener, and has worked as head groundsman for both Stevenage FC and a very well known public school. He told me he'd trained as a fine turf technician, and up until then I never knew grass could be so interesting. At 36 he has now set himself up in business so that he can work the way he feels it should be done rather than working in the confines of a "big" business. I was so impressed that I suggested he might like to join us at Jim'll Fix It. If you need help and advice in any matters gardening give me a call and I'll give you his number. Watch his introductory video here.
