Digging, digging and more digging!
Most of my allotment time recently has been spent clearing the weeds and digging the soil.
My dad popped up last weekend and spent several hours with me digging up at the plot. This meant we got some quite large areas of the plot cleared and forked over. I still need to run over these bits with the soil miller, but it should have dried out a bit and should hopefully be easyish to mill. Going to try and get a bit of time in there on Saturday to finish pre ping the soil for planting.
There’s still a large bit in the middle with couch grass, but I think I’ll save that for a bit later – I’d like to get some things into the bits that are already clear first!
At the very bottom of the plot, the weeds are getting a bit out of hand, so I think a purchase of some large, black plastic sheeting is needed to keep them down for the time being.
Certainly helpful having an extra pair of hands!
