Spread my last reserves of rotted woodchip as mulch on the raspberry canes then added some newish leaf mould and a bit of pig manure.
Next made two beds on the no dig area by laying an inch of straw, two inches of autumn leaves, an inch of home made compost and a sprinkling of pig manure. Then laid black plastic over to let the worms do thier thing.
Sunday evening finished the spreadsheet of seeds/planting dates. I then realised i need to get started with a few so this week things will start in the spare room.
