  • 1st year of allotment

    Been scrolling through my phone and thought I should try and create a history of what I’ve been up to.

            Part 2 let’s see how this goes....

            So here it is a little while later, prob last May, after getting some pots in and a few unsuccessful courgettes. And then got to work on removing as much bindweed and stinging nettle root as I could. Click image for larger version

                    Once I’d dug it over and removed LOTS of weed I took advice off here and covered it for the winter. I have to say it worked a treat, I covered it in cardboard then put some permeable landscape fabric over the top.

                    Oh and I chipped the “garden area” Click image for larger version

                        Back to sideways. There is no logic to this picture placement! ��

                            Anyway, so this is where I am up to now.

                            Both pathways dug, 80 of the beds dug and weeded
                            Greenhouse built
                            Water butts in place
                            Parking space chipped to avoid any more embarrassing issues
                            and last week I converted an old bed into greenhouse benches.
