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
Better weather now so onwards with the new plot. I have cleared the far path and begun to lay turf. This is coming from the undug area so 2 jobs in one go!
Glad to hear the weather is allowing you to make some progress. Too cold hear to get any sowing/planting done and the heavy work on my new plot is on hold after my hip replacement.
Hi Rooko, yes it's still cold here but the soil is has dried out enough to work. I would hope to get some early spuds in in a couple of weeks weather allowing. In the meantime I have plenty to do getting the new plot into shape. Take it easy with the new hip, I'm sure it will pay off in time for you.
