Hi all, I've got an excavator in my site preparing the drive and foundations for my future home, It's going to be free for the evenings for the next week and i'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what i should use it for while it's available. |

If your garden's flat, then uneven it by making little hillocks and banks for interest.
Dig out foundations for a garage? substantial workshop? pond?
Make a dry stream bed wending it's way across your garden. The more you think about it, the more ideas you'll get.
Now's your chance to do something really creative. Go for it! _________________ .

any idea what the water table is like in your area?
i.e. could you dig a pond which would fill by itself? |
