Machine hassles and some hotbeds

Machines often fail here for some unknown reason and this week there's been a lot of it going on. First the mini tractor got stuck in reverse gear and wouldn't come out then the mini digger Danny had borrowed for us turned out to have a duff starter motor (The pic is of me trying to jump start it before we found out the problem).

I've been relocating some old hot beds to near my bender. Over the weekend we had a delivery of manure from Mr Miles our neighbour and a friend of Matt's dropped off a truck load of wood chippings.

These are the hotbeds I moved with Bam Bam's help

The machines are still broken so progress is a bit slow hopefully I'll have some help over the next couple of days and get them finished and planted up. I'm planning on using them to germinate stuff and then to grow melons and other things that like a lot of manure and heat in them later.
