Last spring I decided I would divide my allotment up evenly for rotation purposes into 5 even plots. I acquired and even bought cheap turf to divide it up, but am really regretting doing so as I waste a lot of time mowing the grass paths, and due to work, I can't always spend as much time at the lottie as I would like so there are more important things to be doing than cutting grass!
Consequently, over the last couple of months, I have been scouring eBay and freecycle for used patio slabs to replace the grass.
Now I have enough slabs, I will begin. What I intend to do is to dig a turf out plus a bit of earth from beneath it, then put the turf grass side down in the bottom of the hole and top with earth and then the slab.
I assume this will kill the grass?
Slabs are a bit soulless to have in such abundance on the lottie, but anything that gives me more time down there to do fruit and veg things is a bonus in my book.
