If you have ever tried to move a bag of compost, a mower, or a wheelbarrow up a sloping path and thought, this is awkward in a very specific way, you already understand the heart of the issue.

If your garden edge in Dulwich Wood has started to look a bit wild - brambles creeping out, ivy holding on for dear life, borders buried under leaves, maybe a fence line you can barely see - you are not alone.

If you've ever looked at a terrace near a busy station and thought, "How do people keep that looking good all year?", you're asking the right question.
