A little concrete here and there

Today for the first time in what seems like ages we mixed a little concrete not very much just a couple of loads, but it was enough for a couple of jobs.

The first lot went into the foundations for the compost bins, we are going to build a couple of compost bins about 1m3, made from blocks, these bins are also going the help to support the terrace wall in this area which in the past had a tree growing from it and so is a little unstable. You can see our existing compost heap in the right of the photo.

The other area was to just finish off around the drains which we put in before we laid the patio. This needed doing so we could rearrange some to the pipe work which holds up the vines, so we can later in the year put up the gazebo again.
