Get going on that lovely bit of ground m'dear and next year you'll have so much fun :)

As for the lack of toilet facilities/shed - get a 2 or 3 darleks for your very important compost and build a fortress out of them with a bucket to pee in :D

I can manage without a wee, but....no SHED  :ohmy: it's my den, my hidey hole, my junk store, my retreat.  Where are you meant to keep your stuff?

Before I got my shed I used to use the plastic dalek and plastic dust bin to store my fork spade and other tools in

I like the dalek fortress & tool storage ideas.  Theres a communal shed you can store tools in but it's a way from me. The bit behind the JA's where the nettles are looks to be enclosed with a small gate so might do something there when I can get in there!

Thanks for the seed tip JB, I'm loving it & have already cleared some. I quite enjoy pulling weeds up - luckily!!

got half plot myself last year and no spare room for shed so agree that you have to def "go before you go!"
Good luck clearing site. Took me a year and a half! I have just one last bit to dig over.  :)
Followed advice from this site and didnt panic. Just dug a bit at a time and covered the rest until ready.
So glad wasnt put off by weeds when first looked at lotty.
You are right about losing time there. I can be there for hours! Sense of achievment and pleasure with each cleared patch is great though  :)

I've had mine just over 11 months and still have just over a 1/4 to dig... working on having it 100% by March / April 2014 ready for starting to plant again in May - It's worth doing a diary on here so that when you think your not making progress you can look at what you have actually done.
