OK - went to see promised "good" plot. I suppose "good" depends on your definition :roll:
Good points - there don't appear to be any "nasties" other than 1 clump of something which I'll post later. The plot was dug over 18 months ago, 1 small section is black polythened, the rest is grass on top of carpet. Also as the previous incumbent has been "promoted" to the great allotment in the sky i definitiely won't be thrown off this one. I'm also next to the row rep who is more friendly than the curmudgeonly so & so I've previously dealt with. I've also managed to get a couple of blokes to move my compost bin
Bad points - the back 6 foot is brambles, not sure what sort of "grass" it is til i put a spade to it later today - really hope it's not couch grass, coming from a plot with established beds and fruit to nothing is a bit of a shock. I can't transplant any of my friends raspberries or strawbs because there's nowhere to put them yet - so might not have the fruit I was hoping for - and no asparagus either of course :cry:
Hey ho - back to digging (again)
