Got 4 beds...

Been down to the allotment all day today - plenty of coffee in the thermos to keep us going and some nice ham rolls ;)

By the end of todays work we had four 4x4 ft beds with sifted soil, added compost and manure in the ones that needed it and a nicely weed membrained, bark covered path all sorted.

We've measured out where the rest of our beds are going to go and we're pretty happy so far!

My sisters 2 came down to give us a hand - we even planted the eldest to see if he'd grow! :) No progress yet, but we are growing him organically, so no nasty quick feeds ;)


Since we knew we'd be out the WHOLE day - of near as damn it - we took to dogs out nice and early for a walk in the frosts - they were as happy as pigs in stuff :S That's Harry on the left and Duke on the right!


More next weekend on the progress at the lottie ;)

The rough plot plan



Here is the rough plot plan - it's not labelled with what goes where yet - just bed numbers as a rough plan. Gone with 4ft square beds, as the niece and nephew can help out easy then - and I can experiment with stuff ;)
