Suggested client work schedule on vegetable garden for a client after I had rotovated his proposed vegetable garden area and created the above plan:-
- Order vegetable seeds and seaweed meal as soon as possible.
- Order seed trays/seed compost and vegetable protection roll.
- Order fruit plants as soon as possible.
- Thin evergreen tree.
- Remove leylandii trees and their stumps from right hand side of vegetable garden entrance.
- Burn removed trees and thinnings.
- Remove clay tile/concrete from Fruit Plot 3
- Level remaining mound of earth by entrance using rotovator.
- Order and erect the 4 chainlink fence support systems ( I have a 6’ high galvanized chainlink roll), remembering to remove the relevant fence panels from fruit plot 3 for the raspberry supports when that section is to be built ( most of the existing fence posts can be reused without removing them from the ground, but 1 extra is required for fruit plot 2 and 1 extra each end of each section is required to brace those ends, with 4 posts and 2 braces required for fruit plot 4 ).
- Order and erect 6”x1” treated wooden bed edges.
- Order and erect Plantex geotextile with 2” deep of Type I Roadstone on paths between vegetable garden beds.
- Cow manure will be required for some but not all of the fruit/vegetable plots as a mulch before planting.
- Sow seeds into seed trays and fruit plants into ground as soon as they arrive.
- Order compost bin system and erect it.
- Complete vegetable garden paths with 2” more of Type I Roadstone and 2” of Self-binding gravel.

Please be careful about label instructions:-
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers!)

When you do construction, please remember that people using the result might wish to remain alive!
