Hi just got a half plot for the first time, covered in brambles and bindwind looking forward to clearing it and growing my own!!

covered in brambles and bindwind!

Aren't they all?

[Maximillian]

Exciting! Clear a small patch and put something in to spur you on to clear the rest!

[Lemon]

Well Done! Brave you! That would scare me! Stick in a spud or two and soon you'll be tasting your own

Hi Fizzy. Welcome and good luck with your plot. I used to live Belvedere, stream way, allotments at end of road, so if you are there its a nice spot.

I may have said this before but................burn them burn them all its the only thing weeds respect is a good burning.

Hi thanks for all of your messages, I have cleared about 3/4 of the brambles and will now start digging out some of the roots, the plot hasn't been used for a few years and as such has a fair amount of rubbish to clear also. I will upload some photo's as I make progress.

No, mine also had thistles and broken glass.

and broken glass.

Yes I also have an area where glass ahs been left luckily most of it is still in sheets so will be easy to remove. Have now started to dig the plot over, so hoping to get some winter veg's going soon.

I also had lots of metal posts and wire and a wheelbarrow and watering cans, they have been really useful!! It is really satisfying getting stuck in, good luck with it.
