New project

The land behind my wife's restaurant is crying out to be developed, in the past it's been home to caravans, a donkey, two or three sheep and a couple of ponies. I tried a few years ago planting trees and almost all were destroyed by red deer.

If anyone is interested I could document and photograph the progress, the advantage for me being a push to make a start and a consistently good progress, and also posting here is opportunity to get peer opinion and feedback. A controlling hand to stop me being distracted, perhaps notice mistakes before I do, and encourage , it's improvement and as it's developes will motivate everyone at the same time . It's likely to take a whole year, so far I have just cut the grass once with a brush cutter.

Next steps include;

1.Cleaning the site.

2.Measurements, orientation, assessment of the soil and site .Then to prioritize its role/function.

3.Making a plan and basic design.

4. Marking out and breaking soil/or adding compost and amendments.

5.Sourcing plants cuttings and seeds.

6. Planting and collecting/adding mulch.

Interested in peoples thoughts and if this would be a useful input/ information.
