Two bits of advice, if you've had a plot before you will know.   Little and often and don't go at it like a bull at a gate.     Best wishes.    Cheers,     Tony.

I know it will take time... I'm starting on Sat and will clear it all first then start at the top and just work my way till it is all prepared...

It's no oil painting, but we've seen worse on here.

As said, take it in easy stages and the joy will remain.

But it's all your now Gavin and you can turn it around if your rooftop garden is anything to go by   

Happy clearing at the weekend

You'll have this under control in no time 

Good time in the year to do it too, as you can develop an overall plan, have time to consider it, make changes to it, and so on, before spring is here

Yep - good time to start, dig, think, play, dig more..  think again and then plant in the spring..

As others have said, take your time with clearing it and remember that this is the really hard bit, it does get easier. I find now my original allotment (11x10m plot) takes little time to keep on top of. I even abandoned mine last winter from October to March because of the weather and yet it took only 2-3 hours to tidy it up ready for this season
Where I am, it is a shame that each year people start with great gusto on a new plot and get it cleared and then get disheartened and abandon it, if only they knew, they had cracked the back of it.

Happy allotmenteering!

That's because they go at it like a bull at a gate.  There's always tomorrow
