  Thanks for the nice comments about the DIY Rammed Earth Manual that anyone can get hold of here by the way... http://bit.ly/cARqbx The fella that owns the Old Rectory at East Ruston is the chap who is on the hilarious Garden Party BBC Radio Norfolk phone-in programme every Saturday 12-2pm. Hear the last show here http://bbc.in/9L8bQy well worth a listen, lots of micky taking and in jokes.

  It's all from that stack of 6x2 salvaged "jetsum" timber I bought off the insurance company at the docks, 350m of it, I had to machine all the grooves etc, bigger job than first thought mainly because it's nearly twice as thick as regular decking and it was very, very heavy work! Nice to see you the other week by the way. Hope you had a nice holiday here in sunny Norfolk!

  P.S. I read your Rammed Earth Manual over a day or so when I was still on Holiday in Norfolk - V. Good and inspired me to have a go at atleast constructing a wall out of R.E. Also, you have to visit the garden at East Ruston, Norfolk - 38 acres of top end hard landscaping (lots of joinery!) and tropical planting - amazing.

  Is that decked path made from the 'flotsam' (or is it 'jetsam') timber you showed me when I visited you?

  Of course it has a green roof, it cost us the best part of £5.98 to get the sedums established. We have however splashed out on it more recently, another £20 or so on wild flowers and grasses. 66m2 area.
