I find now that I can walk for ages just so long as I don't try and get up any sort of speed

An interesting way to enhance and create fertile soil where you need it.
It's a conservation thing.

It's a conservation thing.
Goes like this:
1. sprinkle some twigs and grass clippings in the bottom of a five-gallon bucket
2. pull weeds, trim the lawn edge, and make a layer about an inch and a half thick
3. follow with a layer of leaves, flower petals, grass clippings, shredded cardboard, and other biodegradables
4. toss in one pile of Bammer's Best "fertilizer"
5. repeat 3, 4, 3, 4, 3
The bucket is then ready to be taken out to my conservation project's next planting zone to build up patches of actual soil and growing things. Each bucket is inverted, leaving weeds and grass at the top of an organic column; bucket loads are placed close together and the space in between filled with sand and shredded newspaper.
Among these go "planting boxes", which are wooden frames nine inches on a side, where come next fall we can start transplanting native trees and bushes to thrive amidst the "enhanced soil".

I have to admire your dedication to your garden.
The best I do in the same vein is to toss everything organic into a compost heap and leave it.
I have 5 years' worth that I just can't be bothered to do anything with. At least it provides a very nice home for a colony of ants!
There likely are a LOT of lessons that you are learning.
I hope your insurance is covering the lion's share.
It's not even a garden -- it's a project out in the sand dunes to get native trees and bushes started to improve stability, and in places to provide shade and wind protection to hiking trails.
In that case, even more commendable![]()
