Excavation Of Humus Material

 

Four days ago the forecast for today and tomorrow was rain, now it's all changed. So of to the allotment I went, a little colder but with the sun out, it was really mild, and enjoyable and I took Mavericks with me to listen to as I worked, as I'm still gutted Raul Malo died a couple of days ago.

I uncovered bed 15b to let the soil breath and dry out a bit and decided to excavate the woodchip margin around the new narrow first level of the raised bed on both sided of the bed. 

Digging out the weeds and old woodchip with the long handled fork and trowel 

View from the other end as hard to see because of the sun and shadow 

Hard to believe that was nearly 30 Litres excavated and re-laid in fresh woodchips 

The Margin along bed 15 was dug out and replaced with woodchips.
