the back border, before and after

After 2 years i finally got round to getting this iron sheeting out from our back border this spring. It was around 40ft long and was buried 5ft deep. This shot only shows the top half. It is encased in a foot of concrete that had to be broken out. In the end i spent three days, and two diamond cutting blades, cutting it out.
Not only was it unsightly but it also stopped the back 3 ft of garden from geting any moisture whatsoever.
Anyway, its gone now, never to be seen again. And hopefully next summer i will have a lovely planted border.
