I wanted to post a thread so I have a record of our new half plot allotment, so I can track progress, as well as ask for advice.
We took charge of our first plot last may, a half plot that had been neglected for a few years, and the kids and I loved transforming it into something where we spent most dry days and holidays, learning from our mistakes as we went. The only real issue with the plot was a third of it was concrete so it really limited raised beds for the kids etc.
A corner plot that has been left for the last 3 seasons was offered to us late in the year, and discussion's were had as a family on if we wanted to make the move, to essentially start again.
After a few fellow plotters kindly strimmed the weeds, we decided as a family that we would make the move at the start of Feb this year. The plot is classed as a half plot but is actually not far from being a full one. There are a few raised beds in various states of repair, a home made shed structure, along with a 5x2 poly tunnel frame.
The first job was to get some weed control fabric down so we could see the potential of the site and start to plan layout.
The job of moving a poly tunnel, our existing raised beds, garden shed and fruit shrubs began in earnest.......
