    Hello all

    I took on a half plot in September.

    I'm 41, fit and I don't know what I'm doing.

    Nice to have you along, Gareth. Once you've made a few more posts you'll be able to post some pics of your plot, so we can all have a nosey. There are lots of friendly and experienced allotmenteers on here, so fire away with any questions you have.
    He-Pep!

        Welcome Gareth, enjoy your new plot. Plenty of time to get it ready for planting in spring.

          Plants and seeds are pretty forgiving things, as they want to grow. If you can stop other things from eating them you may get to enjoy some home-grown produce yourself :-)

                Welcome, my feathered friend.

                Quite a few here are quackers - as you'll see.

                        Welcome!

                        the only thing I'd say that is important to start now is start a compost heap with any vegetable peelings, tealeaves, coffee grounds, grass-clippings etc (no cooked stuff and no meat or dairy), any prunings, grass-cuttings etc, as you can never have too much compost.

                          Hi

                          I have been busy already. I have made 4 beds for a rotation which involved removing large amounts of bind weed roots and three lawless fruit trees.
                          I have split and moved a rhubarb crown to another area. Garlic from Wilko is in and seemingly doing well.
                          I have tamed about 2/3 of a half plot.

                          My only regret so far is not taking a photo of what it was like when I took it on.
