new allotment
hello,
I've just got my self a allotment, I paced it out the other day its 8 by 56, and was covered in couch grass and other nasty, I've strimmed it all down and had most of it ploughed, the allotments backs onto fields and lucky enough they were being ploughed the other day, so a drink for the driver and he done the business on most of it apart from one side which was covered in brambles. which I've now cleared and dug about half over, but I haven't seen one worm. where are they? any ideas? so now one side is fairly flat ( about a meter wide), but most of it is all ruts left by the plough, should I try to flatten these or leave it to weather, also should I add some manure at this stage or have I got to get all the weed roots out first? I was planning to sow a green manure, is there any I could sow towards the end of summer and leave in till its time to plant, i.e. spring next year? or is this to long for a green manure to be in the ground? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Mr Blisterhandsandachingback :-) |
