congrats.....its such fun, and a good time of the year to get it.....you'll have plenty of time to have it ship shape for the start of the growing season!.

Thank you!
I'm just planning it all out in my head now! I will need to get a small shed/somewhere to put the tools.

What are the essential items every lottie needs? (aside from the veg!)

i dont have much yet....only been at it 6months myself......i use my fork and small fork and trowel the most...i borrow my neighbours wheelbarrow when i need it and dont have a shed yet....me car is me shed!!.

get yourself a compost bin up and running at the begining.....compost those weeds plus whatever you bring from home. i made one from pallets recently.

I've got a darlek type compost bin in the back garden so I'll start off with that! I think I may invest in a tarpaulin for the boot of my car . . . . .

sounds ideal!
an early Xmas present. You can get it in good shape for the spring.

A good idea for the back of the car is one of those sacks that you get stone / sand delivered in from builders merchants

I'm really pleased for you!!!!

Fantastic news

...don't worry about the car...it'll soon look like a mobile shed on wheels!! ( well..if mine's anything to go by!!!)

If you want a 2nd compost bin try recyclenow.com and put in your postcode to see what is on offer in your area.

Car is a bit of a mess anyway if I'm honest! I still fancy having a shed on site though. I am looking online for cheapest options. I am determined not to spend much. Having this allotment is all about saving money!

car's gonna get dirty

tori, keep an eye out on your local freecycle.....i've seen sheds come up on mine, but they very quickly, so i always loose out. i've also seen pallets(in reference to your other thread), and i picked up a dallek type compost bin a couple of weeks ago
