The need to get the driveway clear is a great motivator. I think I did 2m in one day last year which nearly killed me, but I had to shovel out at the other end into raised planters, this time I can just dump onto the ground so it should be a lot easier.
The next garden boot camp will probably be bulk mulch delivery, which is still a lot of work but a lot lighter. The current mulch is all sugarcane, which is great for the soil because it breaks down quickly, but I want to get some heavier mulch for the paths and around the natives. Probably the weather is going to go from changeable spring (where I am struggling to find enough time to work where it is not raining) straight to summer (where I struggle to find a day that I won't roast alive). I can probably put it off until autumn if I need to though.
