Called at plot on my way home from morning excercise routine. I only called to see how plants were faring and didn't intend to do anything.
Unfortunately my front fence was lying flat on the ground!
I had my excercise shorts, white socks and pumps on so wasn't really dressded for work, but I couldn't leave it the way it was!
I managed to prop it up and tied it to the end post with some washing line I had in the greenhouse. I then hammered a spike into the bottom soil next to post to hold it in position. I did the same at the other end but the middle was still bowing! I have a post ready to support it but wanted to dig a propr hole and concrete it in. As a make shift measure I partly dug a hole and battered the post in a short way with a shovel!
I then propped the other end up with my spade at an angle and lashed it al ltogether with the remaining washing line!
Hopefully it will stay up until I can come dressd and tooled up appropriatley to do the job properly!
