Default My new allotment

However, it's quite rough atm. Even the digger did not get rid of
some of those dreadful tufts of grass and there is huge heap of the
ones that it did. 20 yards long and three feet high. Will this rot
down to grow courgettes in? she says hopefully.
We haven't attacked the brambles yet. 50 yards x 15 yards at least.
How to do it organically as that's the way we want to go? I suspect
slash and burn.
Now if I still had goats, not a bramble will live as they love them.

A BIG project, but how I envy you.

By the sound of it you might do well cultivating the one half for this
year and get some veg. plants into the rough areas, some spuds, loads of
them. The season is getting on now, but still lots of time to get this
veg plot started big style.
That digger is going to be a godsend when that heap rots down.


Yes, we will do spuds, my bro will be planting his seed potatoes tomorrow.

What about a couple more goats?


No. I really loved them, had them for more than 20 years, but I do not want
to get in my car twice a day now to visit them. That's the minimum.

I would love to have chickens on a plot such as yours.


I have chickens here, at home.

Let us know frequently how it's going please.

Will do.
