Hi all,
Last week I finally got my first ever allotment plot. Apart from growing a few tomatoes in the garden I have very little experience, but fortunately my elderly next door neighbour who has had plots in the past is willing to teach me everything he knows and give me a hand. I'm really keen to get started but as the days are fairly short at the moment I only really have the weekends. Here is what the plot currently looks like:
The previous holder had the plot for many years and when I visited in the summer it was very productive. Initial plans are to rat proof the pallet compost bin (top left), make an area for some leafmould, and build a wooden trellis to grow some beans. In the future we plan to add at least one raised bed, and eventually we'd like a small shed to sit and enjoy a tea/beer in, and perhaps a greenhouse.
We're on a bit of a budget though so everything will be scaveneged or obtained from eBay, Gumtree or Freecycle.
Speak soon
