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!

A bit more progress
Today I prepared a pumpkin bed at the end of the new plot beyond the potatoes and set 4 plants under weed blanket. I probably didn't need to net them but I don't trust the gulls! Also hoe'd the potato rows....
Your allotment is looking great! All that hard back breaking work is paying off now. Hope I can get mine looking this good :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sweeepea, I have to say I'm pretty chuffed with it now. I had a look at your blog and I am very impressed with your progress too!
