We have had a very wobbly side gate posts for months now, the wooden post had rotted away, so Lachlan got us organised and offered to replace it for us with a metal pole, so last Saturday we headed off to Bunnings. I am learning the art of shopping at Bunnings with a male! First you need to purchase the materials- in this case a metal pole and cap and some ready concrete mix. Then you need to purchase the tools to complete the job- in this case a post hole shovel and a crowbar type think to smash up the old concrete!
Lachlan worked away for a couple of hours digging out the old concrete and digging the new hole. Bill and I were his on call labourers, but not sure that we did all that much. He had the pole in the ground, all level and supported then we got the call to come and help put the concrete and water in- we definitely got the easy job! The next morning he fixed the fence and gate back onto the new pole and we now have a rock solid post in place ! Was good to watch him at work and see how thorough he is. Even cleaned the tools that he had used when he finished the job!
I have all but given up trying to grow anything much in the veggie garden over winter, apart from a few herbs and things in pots near the back door. They had some small raised garden beds and pop over greenhouses at Aldi a few week back so decided to try growing something in this. I have planted some baby broccoli so will see how that goes.
