Allotment diaries, some progress

How it looked before.


I worked hard clearing all the weeds, every one of them hoicked out by me, by hand.



And how it's looking now



The excess covering on the outside was burried in the soil to weight it down a bit and woodchip added all around the outside  The frame is pegged down all around.  It wasn't an expensie polly tunnel but hopefully we have done enough to ensure that It won't get blown away in the first storm we have, and that I can get a good few years out of it.

We put a weed membrane down inside and added woodchip  - (The woodchip is free for all allotment holders).

Mark is going to make me a small potting bench for the inside and my tomato plants will stand on trays along the side.

I've made progress on another section since last weekend but I'll save that for next time.
