I had problems trying to park this morning. Seems a little bit of sun and then everybody and their Grandma come crawling out of the woodwork down to the allotments.
The recent rain has made the ground claggy. Which is a shame as it's digging that I really need to get done. It will take an age to shift the big mound, so instead I decided to put in a second bed along side the greenhouse. The other half is certainly not up for digging duty, so the back breaking work is left to me and she is relegated to wood chip dispersal.
We get a lot of wood chips delivered. Not sure exactly where it comes from since that was put in place from the Council. But we still have tons of the stuff left. Fortunately it's really good as ground cover and mulch. So a whole load has gone underneath the shed to keep weeds down (and for foxes to sleep on!). Yet more is being used as paths and weed suppressant around the greenhouse.
About that greenhouse... the other half was super excited to see little shoots from the seeds we planted last week. Yeah, you can barely see them. But they are there.

Its looking good, raised beds look great, hope mine arrive soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's not so much as raised, more a definitive way of marking them out. Some people use grass paths and just rely on the turned soil to mark where the beds are. I hate grass (I can't eat it!) so I prefer something to mark out the planted areas.
