[grendel]

just did a quick visit to both my half plots to plant up the garlic - eventually, what with the weather and mine and the wifes feeling unwell the last few weeks have meant that the plot has been neglected.

It was the first Manure run of this Winter today. I filled twenty old compost bags with lovely well rotted horse muck. All crumbly and smelling sweet. I then drove to the plots to spread it.
Next Sunday I will repeat the proccess and then the following week too!

Enjoyed the view over Brighton......

Been busy with my daughter today constructing a 3 bay compost bin on the new plot I'm swapping to. Then when she'd gone home I began filling them. Then dug all the parsnips from the plot I'm giving up & heeled them in the  plot next to the new one so that I didn't lose them once 1st Dec comes & my tenancy is up on the old plot.

My first day working our new (and first) allotment today after getting the keys on Wednesday.

Today was about clearing the area around the shed and compost heaps so that we have a base to work from to clear the rest of the plot. Sorted out the two established heaps by aerating one that will be ready for use I would have thought pretty soon, and rebuilding the other completely. We also set about preparing the area for a new compost bin, which I had obtained via the local Freegle group, and put this in place, although at the moment it is empty.

We have re-established one of the boundary walls, which was heavily overgrown with ivy, bramble, and what I think is an Elderberry tree. Cleared last year's dead rhubarb away from the dormant crowns ready for mulching next week, dug up a bramble in the middle of the plot, and filled an old (I hope!) rabbit hole. Oh yes, and emptied a bath tub full of stagnant water, that I will plumb into the shed's guttering downpipe next week, as apparently the water supply does not come on until April, so is invaluable.

Not bad for two hours graft!!!!  

Below are 'Before' and 'After' photos of the shed and compost area, with the boundary wall running between. Can't really see the work we've done on the compost heaps as they are under the tarp. The final picture gives an idea of the work to come before we can start thinking about planting!

Great photos  Hesse.

I spent 5 hours on the plot and (I think) achieved quite a lot. 

[gavinjconway]

it's amazing how a few hours can transform the plot... keep taking a good load of photos..

My plot - before from a few weeks ago and to date is..
