[hi all ive made a start now ive spead manure on top of most of my plot
about 75% as ive been told carrots etc dont like fertyile soil ive
covered it all with my plastic sheet .im going to leave it now till a
bloke is going to plough then rotivate it for £30 i will then cover it
back over . iam then going to start making raised beds 6 inch high .
ive asked my local tescos to save me as much cardboard as poss. this i
will put at the bottom of my raised beds and move soil that i will weed
as im moving it jnto the beds . this will leave me short of soil for the
last beds and as im a hard landscaper by trade i will take my pick of
any good soil that i would normally throw in a skip . by doing this it
will save me £100 at least on skips that will round about pay for the
gravel boards for my raised beds .in true allotment style doing it for
little or no pay out!!!!!!
A landscaper you say? Look into, no dig, "lasagna gardening". Check out
a book from your local library called "Teaming with Microbes" to gain an
understanding of what soil is and what you are doing and, for god's
sake, get some English lessons.
