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.

June .
Wow! You've done well ... you must be so pleased.
All the best Jan
Our allotment holders used a lot of scaffolding netting over hoops of blue water pipe to protect rows of crops. It was a windy site.
Wow, you've made so much progress already, the hard work is paying off. I'm sure the polytunnel will be a great asset allowing you to plant earlier and it will give extra protection to the plants too.
You have already put a lot of work into your new allotment and it is looking great. Hand weeding is a chore but it does do the job.
