    Well done, I'm very impressed. I got an allotment last year, around May time, and didn't get 1/2 of the plot used. Have got those areas covered so easy to deal with this year.

    Started on the first half again over the past 6 weeks, but nothing for the past 2 as I've trapped a nerve in my neck again (2nd time in 2 years). I am so frustrated, and can only pot up things at home ready to use at the allotment once things are on the mend.

    We all get a bit over excited and plant some bits a little early, but there's usually time to replant too. Well done.

          That is absolutely fantastic! Well done

          I would say that chicken manure pellets and BFB will do nicely for the other beds. Especially if you 'target' them - ie. chicken manure is good for nitrogen so use it in the beds which will be growing leafy crops which use it the most, like cabbages, sprouts, broccoli etc and lettuces. You can also buy seaweed meal which might be useful for the trace elements and minerals?

          If you don't mind, I'm going to move your thread onto the Allotment board, because I think this will be a really encouraging thread for any other allotment holders, to see what can be achieved with a 'wilderness' plot

            Love what you have done.
            It will give me some inspiration to get working on mine!
            I just got the keys to mine yesterday and hope to get stuck in next weekend. Sadly I'm off to visit friends tomorrow in Co.Mayo and can't get up to the allotment to start digging.

              Just a little up date. Took down a greenhouse last weekend which was kindly given to me for the allotment. This weekend should see me complete putting it back together again, erect the fencing along one side of the plot and finally get the shed in place. I've now planted up 2 of the beds and things are coming along nicely

                Today I've started sorting out the wood chip for the paths and made a doodah thinger ma wotsit to drape netting over to keep my brocolli safe. Day went in a flash. Tomorrow it's fencing and more glass cutting, the greenhouse is proving a tad more complicated than first thought. Note to self, next time take pictures before you take the blessed thing down and number the glass
