A day-to-day guide to creating an allotment garden from a starting point of absolutely no knowledge and no experience.
Thursday, August 28, 2003
I go to the local hire shop in New Malden to get a petrol strimmer. A very helpful bloke showed me how it works and helped me load it into the back of my car.
It makes short work of the long grass at the allotment but any bits of bramble knacker it a bit. Two hours later, and having used up all of the plastic cutter bit, most of the grass has been cut.
Now I'm ready for a bonfire before tackling the brambles that cover the final third of my patch.
