Now you're getting towards deliberate creation of a turf roof - that's
surely a croft rather than a shed? A proper shed _should_ have a fine
lush pile of greenery on top but it has to develop on its own.

contains hay or old clothes / dog blankets, and piles of old Malbrough 
packs and chip papers. An pumarket one probably has the odd oyster shell 
ground into the floor.

It has a babge near the door that says "VOLVO" in large, corroding 
letters.
The roof should be a blend of moss and pidgeon droppings.

IMHO, natch.

It's a kind thought, Dave, but I didn't write that.  I answered it
though, and you seem to have confused the attributions. I wanted 
to clear that up before Dave, Dave, Dave and Dave became 
confused about it.  Thanks, Dave.
