Hi folks,

We want to move our shed from the back garden to the front. The space we want to put it in is currently clay type soil with wood chip on top, the wood chip has been down about a year.

First question…. how on earth do we get the ground level?! No matter how much we try it seems to just be different heights in different places.

Second question… we’ve bought some of those black waffle shed bases, the black plastic ones that you are supposed to fill with gravel or wedge into the dirt. They clip together. Thoughts on whether they can just go on the ground once it’s level and I can fill them with wood chip or whether we do indeed need to fill them with gravel?

The spot seems to have good drainage and hasn’t had any puddles or standing water. The shed is a plastic Keter shed 6ft x 4ft and it has a built in base.

thanks!

Oh and if anyone has any suggestions on how to carry a 30kg shed down a narrow alleyway then also up for that advice. But after it took us two days, several arguments and a lot of swearing to put together, I am not taking the blimmin thing apart again 😅

Curious on other people's thoughts on this.

A school has a nut ban in place.

No one there has a life-threatening allergy but there might be quite a few intolerances going on.

Statutory guidance suggests that nut bans aren't effective because it creates a false sense of security.

No bans for other allergies that people could have - dairy, gluten, shellfish and so on.

Should a school keep a nut ban just in case?

Is changing it just a ton of extra work for staff to change?

How do you then explain to other kids with say a gluten allergy, that they can't have cake with nut flour, but other kids can have cakes with gluten in for example.

Also to clarify... if someone has an allergy where touching a tiny bit of peanut butter or breathing in airbourne particles would cause them to go into anaphylactic shock, I think that's a different conversation. I'm more talking about blanket bans 'to be on the safe side'
