Area
We live on a stop bank so have a great deal of wasted space out the front that is on a sharp west facing incline. I've spent the last couple of years building up the soil levels, as originally it was a thin layer of topsoil over a layer of compacted clay. Theoretically, it belongs to the council, but I figured if I have to mow it, I may as well get some food out of it in the process :)
