Starting to take shape at last. At least I know where the paths are now. I found some plastic sheeting in the shed at home and got some underlay off freecycle to cover the back half of the plot. I can leave that fallow for a year to let the remaining grass rot down to loam.
The soil digs very easily. Turned it over nicely and started a pile of turf at the front of the plot. This will slowly rot down to loam.
Dan reckons we've got couch grass. What's that?
And my first structure. The compost bin. Crate curtesy of Paddock Motors in Tansley.
And here's the pile of pigeon poo kindly donated by the pigeon racers who also occupy a spot on the allotment. This can go in the new compost as an accelerator. Not too much though!
