Big Brother is always watching...

"Really!! Is that it..."

The sum total of my, oh so productive (!!), allotment year...

as you can see, on a plot of 3 poles (75m2) I had a lot of space left for my bonfire..

Making use of the useless...

I was lucky, or unlucky depending on your view, to have been paid to get rid of a lot of old wood. Being as I was unable to dispose of this wood I took it up to myAllotment. As you can see I have put it to good use...

Jakes pumpkin, he grew in class, now planted. Watered well, raised slightly from the ground ,as it can become water logged, then mulched. I used some of my more rotted compost and laid a 'straw type' barricade. Advice taken from plot 6 I believe x

'Home Sweet Home'

Aaah, its good to be back. Weeds and all!!

Just the one simple job today, turning the compost heap...

Half way

Finished

I chopped each fork full of compost up into smaller pieces to aid with decomposition. Turning the heap also creates pockets of air within the compost, aiding decomposition.

now just to wait a few months...x
