Morning On The Allotment

A morning on the allotment clearing the scaffold boards and miscellaneous rubbish off beds 14 & 14a.

The old (3ft) 0.9m scaffold boards have been stacked on spacers on Bed 15 and will need the banding removed, and pilot holes drilled at a future visit. I started clearing the weeds in the woodchip margin between the paving slabs and the bed frames, and will barrow in and lay new fresh woodchip.

The tomatoes were not doing well in the potting shed, so they have been added to the current Dalek. Foil trays filled with coffee grounds and left in front of the window to dry out in the sun.

The aim is to de-construct the bed frame for the 1.2m x 2.4m bed that was numbered 14 and replace it with raised beds using the new scaffold boards, measuring 1.2m x 0.9m (4ft x 3ft) end to end numbered 14 & 14a in the layout above.

Once the first level of raised bed framing is laid on the ground, the humas will be decanted into 30 litre pots with handles, and the excavation filled with rotting timber, branches and woodchips.

No photos taken today as it rained and I had to exit stage left. Photos will be added once taken.
