Haha, I can't believe I just found this thread - I was just thinking a similar thing on my plot yesterday!! My OH came down the lottie to 'help' but bless him, I love him very much but he is just not a natural gardener. I asked him "Can you please weed that bed in the corner?" and he enthusiastically set about his work, but only did half a job.... after he'd 'finished' I had to go over and dig the whole bed over again because of the amount of weeds he'd left in there...
...after that he helpfully went around the plot lifting all the gardening canes I had in marking out where I'd planted things in order to 'tidy up'...!
He is great though, helped me build my greenhouse and build my potting table with a door we found in the street.
