Very little to review this month as I've had the allotment less than a week (!). Here it is anyway:
- cleared a small raised bed and was happy to find very good, loose soil underneath
- laid down some cardboard and weed suppressant fabric for a long bed to cultivate next spring
- uncovered raised bed area, was able to sketch out 5 beds and begin weeding perennials
Highlights included frogs, slow worms, bees and butterflies. Noting the soil underneath the black covers left by the previous tenant was as hard as rock was horrible. Every day I go to the plot, I realise more and more that I am really clueless. I quite like this.
April.
So much to do this month:
- propagate spring seeds. Will need to be done on a weekly basis for at least this month, maybe longer
- construct mini greenhouse in the garden for growing on vulnerable seedlings
- acquire manure and extra compost for beds
- build beds.
- dig up informal areas on the plot to plant out the comfrey and wild flower seeds
- reduce planks and soil bags on plot to minimal.
