A few Newbie questions...

that's a good job there, very hard worker!! judging by the photo's your soil condition is very good and looks pretty soft. just give it a last rotivate and all looks good.

with regards to weeds, i have found out that if i put weeds expecially the dandelions in my green wheelie bin they tend to grow for some strange reason but i am guessing its the fact that the green is decomposing. i would personly throw the first lot away. unless you have something that generates a lot of raw heat and would kill them off for good.

With regards to stones, leave them in. stones are good at retaining heat which is what helps with seeds germinating or encourage the roots to grow further. bricks and other rubble i would get rid off.

with a plot that big i would get hold of old planks of wood used by scafholding people, erect them up length way and make a pathway in the middle made with wood  chippings and split the plot into sections, that way you can easily reach sections of your plot to work or grow things without tramplng on other growth.

happy growing!

Good for you! It's hard work at the beginning but, all of a sudden, when you think you don't seem to be making any progress, you will go down there and - wow - it's looking good. I like your toilet with comfrey - I thought it was a "weed!" 
Re- the bits of glass - you might find them easier to spot when the sun shines on them after rain which will bring them to the surface and be easier to see, I'd take some plasters and ointment down the lottie just in case.

Thanks for all the replies. It's all really helpful.

I like the idea of having a pile of wood/brambles for wildlife to live in...I'm also thinking of sinking a small pond in the far corner to attract frogs to come and eat the slugs!

I've got hold of some wood chippings too so will be laying some paths once I've got more of the weeds up.

I've laid some more paving slabs (3'x2's 1.5" thick) which are REALLY heavy! But it makes a nice little patio by the shed for sitting out and drinking tea!

Ooh, and Yorkie...I'm up to date on tetanus...I've got a bit of a habit of cutting myself with saws etc whilst DIYing!
