Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

We had contracted with Ali, at Greenside Garden Centre, to do the basic work on the garden. So today two guys turned up, christened Bill and Ben, by Joan and I, to start leveling off prior to the sand and gravel layers. The sand delivery, for what is basically the underfelt to the plastic membrane, was 200 cubic meters. Bill and Ben have to shift it all, with, one wheelbarrow, two shovels and a garden rake.   Once the gravel layer has been put down, then we get hedges and some fruit trees in the initial contract, after that Joan and I can plant all the other planned shrubs and plants. We just didn't fancy spreading a total of 500 cubic meters of sand and gravel.
