Turf cutting

Now that preparation Joanna's birthday/party is over and the weather here is turning more towards spring (warmer, sunnier days)...I have managed to get out in the yard the last couple of afternoons to prepare for spring planting (which is what I will want to get into when we get back from Oz). At this stage, this means creating some new garden beds, so I actually have space to plant stuff. So each afternoon I have removed the turf from a 3m x 0.85m area, to convert into veggie garden beds. It takes me about 1 hour to cut the turf for a bed this size. I think I want to make one more bed, which will mean a total of 4, plus the existing garden bed along the fence line that was already there when we moved in.
