Mowed for an hour yesterday and used the clippings to mulch round all the fruit trees. I've not bothered in previous years but I noticed a big improvement in yield and growth last year. Also strimmed for about an hour all the tall weeds, nettles and buttercups that were thinking of setting seeds.
I also risked emptying 2 waterbutts into the pond as it is quite low. I have feeling the liner might be leaking which is annoying as it was supposed to last a long time. No idea how you would check for a leek though. It has quite a few inhabitants now: newts, frogs and a lot of smaller stuff. I saw a grass snake in it once.
