I’ve started digging the plot over again these last two weeks, having been absent for much of the winter. It’s less of a mess than anticipated so there’s room for optimism.
Last year was my first as an allotment holder and I learned quite a bit from others on the site and friends. The main change I’ll be making for 2008 is the introduction of raised beds. They look far easier to manage and, from what I’ve read, are good for cultivating soil.
By the time it’s all built there’ll be three at either end of my plot. This should leave room for the berries, beans, rhubarb and herbs that I’ve got planned.
Also I hope that my neighbour and I can get to grips with the grape vine this year.
