How are you stopping the soil from slipping out through the tyres Kat? I can't see from here!

the tyres are set in a trench and all the stones i'm digging out i'm sticking in the holes/
i've kind of banked the soil so it's not flush with the tyres.

it was hard work with the chooks getting under the spade and the baby attacking me coz she wanted all my attention. oh well. the next side will be harder as it's been walked on loads and hasn't been weeded yet. that'll be the weekend gone lol

Phew what a lot of work you've got ahead of you. I'm so pleased my soil is really sand! And thats the first time I've ever said that! ! !

my soil is really heavy clay filled with loads of old rubbish, i found loads of glass toady and some buried house bricks.

Ouch ! you be careful where you put your hands in future. I found loads of glass, china, bricks and bits of old fire grates when I was digging the new base for my shed and I got quite a few cuts from not being careful! ! !
