This garden has a lot of potential. Great job.
-
That plot looks great - very jealous. Mind you, if I could afford to buy all that wood, I wouldn't have an allotment - I'd be buying my veg from Waitrose....
-
You need more compost in your raised garden beds
-
That is a lot of food.wow
-
I was enjoying your video very much but I felt it was ruined when you used the last few seconds to point out your neighbours plots, which you are critical of.
The world is full of all different types of people, it's a good thing, that we are not all the same.
Your is in good order they look like they could do with some help,
How about it?

@mihalspinvinyl I don't like comments like this, You know a lot of people want allotments and we understand but sometimes circumstances don't allow as much time on the plot as one would hope for. Last year someone was moaning about my plot looking scruffy. they didn't know my dad was dying of cancer. this year my plot will beat theirs hands down. Don't be so quick to judge please.
-
your plot is so neat and pleasant.
you must be the envy of the allotment.
-
What percentage of manure do you mix with compost? I've heard a dozen different variations - would like to hear from you. Nice garden. If you are managing this by yourself - best of luck sir!
-
glad I found this just now! I have a chance to replant my sprouts yet. My radish bed settled hard maybe I'll put the sprouts over there.

They have given up their plots as they were unable to maintain them. The plots are now being cultivated by people who want to use them for what they are intended. I agree there are different types of people, but there is also a long waiting list for plots and praise can be given to those who admit that they took on more than they could chew!

What did he mean about the sprouts, that he didn't 'firm them in'?
archdeaconj 1 year ago
It is important to compress the gound by walking on it before planting sprouts. After planting firm them in by standing on the soil again aound the plants.
If it is not done the sprouts are soft and not firm.

Thanks for the tour, it looks great. Do you not find that all the wood, in contact with the soil, breaks down due to termites etc. within two or three years - or are you using treated wood? Regards

I used treated wood with a 10 year life, but no sprays or chemical fertilisers. There is an organic limit! After all, the netting and polythene is made from oil as are the water butts. The nails, staples and tools are metal and seed packets are not necessarily recycled paper.
PS we do not have termites in England!...or sunshine!

gd info m8, how bout few sleepers bit higher than ur own for the granny ya know looking to set her own up would that work so she wont hav 2 bend down is that workable plz send bk anyword .cheers guy wif a plan...

2 or 3 sleepers high. Wide paths to allow wheelchair or zimmer! Also give you plenty of soil to throw in the beds. Dig the paths one spades depth. Not too wide to allow a grannies arm to reach the middle. She'll love it!
