… we’ll get a mixer
My husband and I absolutely love gardening and we have a passion for growing our own fruit and vegetables every year.
We take pride in our vegetable beds and ensure we rotate our crops to keep them healthy.
We had noticed the wood surrounds of our beds were starting to break down after years of use and were under attack from the wildlife!
To fix this, we decided to have bricks laid around them.
We had someone start the job but unfortunately, he had to stop due to a shoulder injury that required surgery.
We waited patiently, but with no signs of him returning any time soon, we decided to take matters into our own hands and tackle the project ourselves.
We were able to finish one bed and a quarter of another by the end of the second day, but mixing the cement turned out to be quite a challenge.
Turning over the concrete, sand and water was heavy work, which meant we could only manage 2 mixes per day, limiting progress.
We needed to find someone with a cement mixer!
Having the right equipment for the job is essential and that includes the right knowledge and experience.
So if you have some bricks that need laying, don’t ask me.
But if you need help with those tricky marketing and advertising questions, you’re in the right place.
