I do love watching time team. Reckon I can find anything valuable on there apart from pots and plastic haha

We found an old tin bath on ours - properly buried too! We inherited a few patio slabs from the middle of the old greenhouse but found more elsewhere - a spades depth down - & ended up with enough to make a base for the shed & to put in front of it

Everything else was basically rubbish except for some waterbutts & the rhubarb patch. We were excited to uncover a bucket until we lifted it & the handle came off still attached to the top & the base stayed on the ground lol

Went to the plot yesterday and discover someone has removed all the grass from outside my gate(Another plot neighbour did this for me)
Started to clear the path down the side of the beds and at the end I discovered a compost bin and an apple tree. I can now get to the pond.
Another plot holder said he will chop the big weeds down for me(Kind of him)
I know my plot still looks a mess but as long as I am clearing the paths I can go back and remove the bits ive missed.
Here is some pictures I took.

What lovely people, those other plot holders.

It's going to be a fantastic spot when you've licked it into shape.

Thank you. I know I was shocked when I went on. I didn't expect it. It's so lovely of them to help.

There is no snow now but this is the plot so far. Going to go down this week and try and dig a bed over. It's full of roots under the soil. Got some manure put on the beds. Not using all beds so going to cover the ones I am not using.

Apparently I have three corned leek on my plot so need to dig them up and put them into pots to stop them spreading.

[cariann88]

Also is it wise to use a tiller on the beds if it's full of roots?
I will just keep pulling the weeds when I see them.

I just think it will be easier to use the tiller instead of digging(cant do to much as I have be careful with my back)

[cariann88]

Is it three corned leek?

[lottie dolly]

,No idea about the leeks??,but i personaly would not recommend using a tiller off any kind where there are roots,especially if you not know what they are,if it's a type of grass it will just make it worse,and will end up in chopped up clumps that regrow,i have been there done that ,these days i cover my growing area,then when they removed you can see better what you got coming up,but grass only way is get it out using a fork
