This blog will attempt to document the progress as we tackle an allotment from scratch which has been totally neglected, 5 feet deep in thick brambles with much rubbish underneath. We are using recommended heavy hand tools which we have not used before and will be commenting on their effectiveness as we go. Finally we are trying to complete this without wrecking my bad back which has a history of dodgyness after a bout of disc prolapse!

More progress and a diversion for bad weather
Between the showers, I managed to put in 2 more rows of spuds, earth up the spuds in the main bed and put in a row of cabbage in the top bed which I decided to cloche to keep the pigeons off. Then it really started to rain so I resorted to DIY....
I put in a long awaited loft ladder and hatch and ended up with a lot of nice pine so I went really mad and used it to design and make a really cool tool chest to bring all of my small stuff together in one place.... quite pleased with it.
