Catch Up

Been a while since I blogged on the allotment, been trying to push on as much as I can as March is fast approaching and it will soon be time to get sowing. The 3rd large bed is nearly done, so 1 and a bit beds to dig (for now).

We have a water problem currently in that we are waiting for the council to lay new pipes and with sowing time fast approaching we need water on the site, obviously. So I have had to find some water butts on the cheap, which I have done but they are only 110 ltr ones, better than nothing for now though, these will be fed by guttering on the shed and greenhouse.

The compost heap has also been moved to fill some dead space by the shed, the site of the existing heap will eventually be dug over for a smaller bed, perhaps a seed bed as it's next to the greenhouse.
