Not drizzle, not light showers but tipping it down. In plain English "we have got pissed on" for about 3 weeks now.
Today however I had had enough; with my wet weather gear on, a flask full of freshly made coffee and bursting with determination I pushed myself out the door.....
So what has been going on:
My mustard seed has started to grow but not much. Maybe an inch at most.
Deserted allotment + hot flask of coffee = Bliss |
A trick learnt on the building site; how to use a wheel barrow as a seat ( remember to remove coffee first) |
In the background is the start of my compost heap...
da daah!!
As you can see I used 5 pallets. I tied them together with a tough garden string, then fashioned stakes out of some 2" x 1" ( 2inch by 1inch) wood. I hammered these in down the side of the pallets for a little extra stability. Being a gardener I gather a lot of other peoples green waste, perfect for my compost...
A good few hours graft. Now on to the shed. I have looked around and have decided that for the money it will be cheaper for me to build my own. I shall of course capture my efforts and share them with you every step of the way.
Take care and carry on Gardening x
