Sunday Morning On The Plot

 
Todays Visit started with a look at the pebble pool, which told the story of just how much rain we have had recently.

As usual I forgot to take a photo before I started to clear this bed of weeds, so this photo is taken after the first area of weeds have been pulled up.

Beautiful the Robin came to the bed more or less straight away and was searching the bed for food as I was digging and turning it over. 

Beautiful the Robin followed me to the plot 1 shed where I sat for a rest and a drink 

Beautiful got bored waiting for me to get my strength back and decided he would check out the floor of the potting shed. He has flown in there a few times and usually checks out the potting benches, and he has done it with me in the shed. I now need to make sure he is not in there before I lock it up.

Two 30L pots with handles of weeds and roots from the bed later, and the bed is looking much clearer, the timber frame has more or less rotted away. Next Visit to excavate and decant the humus into 30L Pots with handles and take down where the next raised bed is to be built. 

I will then line the excavation with magic cardboard, install a Dalek and backfill with woodchips. I will also be sorting out the paving slabs into a better path configuration and filling in around them with woodchip to tidy the path up.

I scraped the moss off a paving slab, I will brush it off next visit, woodchip needs to be laid under and around these paving slabs.
