Re: Geez! I hate that!

decided to get outside for a little while and do some gardening.
I had three plants in pots to go in the garden, and three plants to get out of the garden.. should have been easy.
The 'soil' was gravel and dirt that had set to a nice thick crust on top that a shovel couldn't penetrate. No problem I'll grab the mattock. Imagine my surprise when the first or second hack at the ground resulted in pieces of PVC pipe.
Turns out there is a storm water pipe running from the neighbours place down my side of the fence line and it was lucky to be 2" under the surface. And perfectly placed in the centre of the garden bed that is lucky to be two feet wide, limits the planting choices.
5 hours of gardening later I still needed to do a bunnings run to get PVC cement to fix the pipe and buy some more plants to fill the garden and hopefully stop the weeds growing.
Should have stayed on the lounge playing GTA V
