The foundations are in - now it's up to us growers!


A local landscaping company helped to create the raised beds suitable for wheelchair and bad-back users, as well as the regular raised beds. They also put the paths in, made out of recycled crushed house bricks. It's a little lumpy in places which is of concern, and I'm not convinced the rain will indeed 'compact it down' any further as promised, but we'll have to wait and see...

Of course, by simply digging the soil over the weeds are still there and multiplying by the minute, so that's the next task.

The overgrown site 2006

I was inspired by another allotment holder to create this blog. When you're embarking on a big project it's all too easy to get lost along the way and forget how far you've come. Having a few reminders of how you got there is good for the soul :)
