I have to quickly dig parts rows to even up again before someone spots me

Thanks for the offers but I've got a line thingy and still can't do a straight line.............there's no hope

Absolutely rubbish at straight lines.  I have measured with a tapemeasure the distance from the bottom of a bed put in marker.  Repeated process the other side of bed put string between markers then dug.  Resulting plants in a slanted row now just accept I am cooked eyed and grow veg we eat.

All lines must be straight.

that hurt my eyes!

I strive and strive for straight lines but alas cannot achieve anything longer than a couple of foot without precision measuring. I’m not bothered when it’s digging (not that that’s much of an issue with raised beds!) but I do like neat crops. Him indoors thinks I’m bonkers when I get the tape measure out at planting and sowing time but I just have a thing for parallel lines!

[mumofstig]

I keep saying that I'm going to make a measuring stick like

this one

it'll be one of my winter jobs for sure

I don't worry about it. Nature doesn't work in straight lines, so why should we?

[totalnovice]

I'm terrible too! my allotment with bendy lines, curved paths and dodgy digging is put to shame by my neigbour. His allotment could pass a military inspection it is so perfect (god i love to hate his perfection)!

I love straight lines. Nice and crisp and neat. You cannot beat nice straight lines of Vegetables and plot edges. I must confess I did relay the Greenhouse base as it was not square to the rest of the plot

Man after my own heart - but how do you do it - or are you just super clever?
