FIrst day at allotment
« Reply #15 on: March 06, 2009, 09:08 »
Done a bit more work, started raking stuff into a big pile so I have somewhere clear enough to use for burning (safely)  ::) 

My mum decided to get a few sheets of newspaper and try and light a fire in the corner of one of the piles. She didn't think it would take  ??? and it did. SO spent most of last Saturday tending a fire and making sure it didn't get out of control.  ;)

   



Trying to clear the top 1/4 so we can start getting ready to burn more rubbish etc.

Blimey!

Looks like some of the other plot holders have been doing a bit of dumping on your newly hallowed ground.  Shame on them. 

Sounds like you've got a handle on it. Hold on to the stuff that might be useful and torch the rest.

Good luck Moonchild.  Your first fresh dug carrots will make all this hard work worth while.

there are a lot of lovely panes of glass there - you can definitely make some good cold frames out of those - if you're not going to burn some of the doors and sides, you can use those as well for your cold  frames - it will save you a bit of money.

There's something very exciting about clearing an overgrown plot isn't there? You just never know what you will find & it's so,so satisfying when it's done. Good luck.
