Title: Newbie
Post by: Martyn23 on April 20, 2016, 21:39
Hello all,

Thanks for letting me join the forum !

I've just signed up for my first allotment! (excited) Its 94.5m2.

I've grown a few veg/herbs from home but never something on allotment scale, so any tips/advice/information what ever you can throw at me i'll gladly accept and absorb! I don't get the keys to the plot until next week so plenty of reading done and still to do.

Thanks In Advance!

hey there just a thought for you to consider if not already done if you know size and shape i would suggest sketching out a rough plan of what you want and where so when you walk into it you can hit the ground running ie where to put a greenhouse possibly or shed location maybe path it out into sections depending on size.

Hi Martyn

I've split off your post showing the photos of your new plot and your request for comments onto a new thread and moved it to the GYO board for all the GYO peeps to have a look at it  :)
