Back On Excavating Bed 16

Appointment at St Georges Hospital to give blood for the Haematologist I'm seeing next week following my PET Scan mid February. At least they are not making me wait two months to get the results this time !

IN the afternoon as the weather is very Fools Spring like I  uncovered the soil at the end of bed 16 and started to weed and excavate the humus material into square flower buckets 

The flower buckets are beginning to get filled up with the humus material and I'm hoping I have enough to hold half of the beds contents such that I can then construct the 1.2m x 0.9m raised bed frames made of scaffold boards.   

From my left foot to the plastic spacer has been previously excavated, and back filled and walking and digging from the strip is helping to consolidate the woodchips that were used to fill the trench. 

As with the last trench I will excavate and place the flower buckets in the hole, and move the plastic shitter, then back fill on a hit and miss basis like underpinning a property. 

Adi my plot 2 neighbour was on his plot today using up his annual leave and was having a tidy and has dropped off two old and rusty but still functioning wheel barrows that were left by the old tenant of plot 3A on his plot but never came back to retrieve. These have been offered up for adoption by the first two of the four new plot holders, that want them and move them to their plots.
