If you'd put a thick layer of those stones down at the bottom of the trench and covered them, the stones would warm up and act as a heat store.
Could you share his reaction when you suggest that he should dig it out again.

How right you are! Big Grin, but only AFTER he's put up the GH!

Great idea. Let me know when and I'll lurk behind the hedge for a giggle.

I’m naturally on himselfs side he sounds overworked and over supervised. I bet he doesn’t have a list either.
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.

A list? He's not a sinking ship you know.

Having done so.........this could be my last post as my tablet might go flying.  If the trenches were a bit deeper I might have considered it but at less than  20 inches before solid stones, subsoil and chalk, I think I'll let the layer of stones idea go.

Probably a wise decision! Stones have a habit of creeping to the surface.

Not that either you or Veggie realise, but he does have a list.  Following a hip replacement 15 years ago, one leg is shorter than the other, so he walks with a list. Smile
As for the other type of list, I wouldn't dare!  He's the one always on the go with grand plans, usually involving tidying up, weeding and edging lawns in very straight lines.

I would like to go on record and be a bit soppy, so I apologise in advance. Notwithstanding all the sideways digs I been giving my hubby Paul, I think he is the most wonderful husband and I'm truly grateful for all the effort and hard work he's putting into getting my new toy sorted. ♥️ The real fun comes when we have to put the thing up! Tempers may get a bit frayed then.
He won't read this so I will be sure tell him personally, (probably with a few digs as well). I didn't want the G&G crowd to get the wrong impression. Smile
