If I had a hammer...


I'm a bit behind on the blog, so this entry will be a culmination of a few days' worth of work.

On Thursday afternoon the Boy's Club from the local primary school had a masterclass in how to use a hammer and power drill without injuring yourself, and I'm glad to say that everyone had the same amount of fingers they began with by the end of the session. With a little help from Alan, they're creating two raised beds next to the willow dome.

Friday was another lovely day weather-wise and Paul and I tackled the overgrown area in the top corner in preparation for the chicken house, while Peter added spent compost to the raised beds and potted up the herbs to overwinter in the polytunnel.

We also tided up the entrance to the allotment to make the path a bit easier to use, taking out a few stray weeds and adding some of the spare rubble to the sides.
