A day-to-day guide to creating an allotment garden from a starting point of absolutely no knowledge and no experience.
Monday, October 06, 2003
Another couple of hours and I finish clearing the bit of the plot in front of the shed. There was a huge bramble root that my four-year-old son thought looked like a dragon. My target of clearing the whole plot by the end of October is looking feasible at last. The ground underneath the carpeted area is still to tough to touch but a few more days and there should be some give in it. My dad is coming back from a three-week holiday soon - last time he saw the plot it was covered in grass and brambles and still had rotting compost bins in the middle and a huge amount of rubbish piled up. What a difference he is going to see.
