Then comes the geo and the gravel and the agi and more gravel and one area gets dirt but the others get mansfield pebbles and aluminium edging

Barring the one on the far left, they're roughly the locations of original concrete and brick dividers in a garden bed i've been painstakingly prying out out and cleaning up over the past year (salvagable concrete chunks will become crazy paving, bricks a pathway). His Lordship liked the dividers, but they had to come out, they were falling apart, cracking and subsiding, plus i wanted to put in raised and wicking beds (getting old and i already broke my back).

It also has a retaining wall around it, but no outlet for water (and at the bottom of a slope), so it bogs a bit...my solution was getting a hole punched in the side, dig agi in along the divider lines and when i backfill i'm gonna echo the original dividers by having channels of river pebbles famed by aluminium edging along the lines.

like this but with mulch instead of grass
