500L Bulk Bags Delivery

Today 16c not so windy or cold but overcast with light showers this afternoon which is why I came home.

two number 500L Bulk Bags one of soil and one of compost was delivered by topsoil.co.uk for one of the plot holders today, Lucky John was there washing his car in the car park and could open it and let them back in and drop off in a more sensible location than deliveries have been dropped off previously.

As can be seen they didn't need to bring the whole lorry into out car park / drop off and pick up area, the cab with rear wing mirrors stayed outside the allotment gates. The stabilising legs were extended down to two bearing pads

Then with what looked like a model aircraft controller the driver unfolded the crane and guided it above the first bag

He popped up and fixed the straps to the end of the crane arm

We have lift off

Then he lifted the bag towards the rear, ensuring not to hit the fence

Rotated to behind the rear of the truck and up against the fence as requested

Then repeated the process for the second bag

And in no time at all....

The second 500L bulk bag was being dropped of and landed next too the first.

This is the ideal location for such deliveries

I then set about decanting old spend compost on Bed H1 and breaking up the soil improving compost dressing that was spread on the top of the native soil.

Bindweeds are making inroads around the beds so I sprayed with vinegar, salt and washing up liquid as I'm waiting for my long reach Wilkinson's Sword long reach trimmer that I bought today to come in the nest couple of days

Dirty seed modules brought home to wash.
