Hello everyone. What excitement, I've just taken over my first allotment. It's fair to say I'm very keen and have a lot to learn too. So I'm all ears for any good advice going!
My plot is about half the size of a full one, and the soil seems pretty good. Nothing was grown on it last year, the previous owner told me, and then he went on to mention it had been rotavated, well about half of the plot anyway, which is the existing beds. The other half of the plot is mostly couch grass. I've already had some happy hours of fun digging up couch roots from the beds and I'm guessing from other comments that this is going to be a bit of challenge, given the unfortunate rotavating!
Not sure how to go about tackling the overgrown half of the plot, it looks nigh on impossible to dig up the whole lot. Hopefully there is a way. Anyway, wish me luck!
