thanx 2 all for your replies upto date . inow have a good idea on what
to do .im going to BAN THE ROUND UP IDEA ! That seems to make very good
sense. im going to use my plastic sheet to cover manure that im going to
spread [ive allready got the sheet 100square metres] then start on a
little bit at a time im only going to aim at getting less than half
done at the moment it is 21 metres long by 6 metres wide in total so if
i only aim at doing a bit ive got plenty to be going on with!!!!!!!!!!
expect a lot more questions in the near future. WATCH THIS SPACE

Covering the whole thing up is not going to be very interesting to a
9year old boy. Leave a little uncovered and you can use it for
"experiments" in the mean time. Dump a bunch of water on it so that
you will be able to turn it over and see if there are any worms or
bugs. Get a pH testing kit and try it. Try planting some of the
things that are almost guaranteed to come up: radishes and garlic are
pretty sure bets. Get a live Christmas tree this year and plant it in
the allotment (if that's allowed).

Good luck,
