New Allotment

[BeardyMan]

Cheers guys.

Going to get onsite this weekend and measure the plot, then get it drawn up on computer. Been warned not to leave anything on site, "traveller" camp mile away, things have a tendency of disappearing. Well, tools anyway, don't seem to bother with any veg. So no greenhouses or polytunnels as they've been known to go walkabout. Can have a shed, but anything in there will also vanish, so not much point!

Got rotovator to borrow. Need to assemble it first apparently - been repaired - not much of a repair if I've got to put it back together myself! Still, one more thing to learn.

Want to try the straw bale approach, sure Jades granddad will be happy there's less bending involved. May help with the rabbits too.

Can't wait to get down there, shame I was such an idiot and didn't jump at the chance straight away. Could have gotten something in the ground by now. Will pop to the garden centres Friday and check out the brassicas. There's a patch that needs clearing, so want to try hugelkulture too.

River runs beside the allotments also, might even get a spot of fishing done
