Default New Lottie

Hello Rainbowminx. I'm just going to echo what others have said. Don't panic and do just a bit at a time. Ours is a great hobby but remember that's all it is. If things don't work out exactly as we'd like this year there is always next. That's what's so good, no matter how badly we cock it up it's easy to start again.

I have only recently taken on an allotment and am enjoying gradually taming it. This year I will concentrate on clearing one bit at a time (I have devided it up into twelve 15ft x 10ft beds) when one part is weed free and dug over I move on to the next one. Some of the beds take more than three weeks to clear but hey, it's not a race.

Just enjoy your time on the lottie. If you need advice just ask on the grapevine There's always someone who can help. I've had loads of good advice and helpful tips from the other grapes.
