Double compost bins are made and start on the digging. The ground is full of bindweed roots plus an unimaginable amount of broken glass and shrapnel in the form of rusty nails, hinges, screws etc..
The tree had to go so I could park on the plot. To date I've made 8 trips to the tip.
After twelve months on the allotment waiting list we were finally offered a plot. Unfortunately when we went to view it we were told that if we turned the offer down our names would be put right to the back of the list. So we took it..
Plot five occupies 260 square metres, just over 6m wide it's 42m long.
Enough rotten bamboo canes to fill two 1-ton builders bags. Would like to burn them really but site rules only allow fires from November to February and after 16.00 at that.
The big pane is a very heavy double glazed patio unit. There's a couple of Belfast sinks under there too (home to a family of rats). In total there were 20 window units strewn across the plot, most of them full of greenish brown water.
Looks like an outside loo. Full of crud and junk and well used by the rats.
At least there's a greenhouse, just needed a bit of attention to get the door and window working
before starting on the inside..
