UndertheSun said:Dreadful soil? That soil looks fine to me, you should see my nasty red clay soil. In the Summer months, I break shovels (and other garden tools) in my rock hard soil.

The only weeds I ever see are the ones that try to pop up in my garden.

Our soil in England is heavy clay (perhaps more anaemic pink than red once you get below the topsoil) - hard work, although unlike our garden in France it does retain plant nutrients well. So two extremes: I'd say a tale of two cities, but Menton is a town not a city, and Clifton is a tiny village in Oxfordshire...
