Has anyone got a scythe?
The allotment project begins. I sorted out a full plot earlier today and should start work on it later this week.
It currently looks like this-
Which is...... challenging. There also appears to be some piece of art fashioned from an old immersion tank-
There already appear to be raspberries, which I might try to keep-
And the plot next door has a neat shed that thinks it's a tree, or vice versa-
The plan is to keep the allotment as nearly organic as possible. The fact that it's been abandoned for a year or so is a help in that respect as it therefore doesn't have a recent history of chemical use. I hope to get some small crop from it this year, but it's the second and third years when Ican really expect to see results.
The first job, obviously, is going to be clearing as much of that growth and rubbish as possible. If anyone would like to help I can pay them in chutney.
