Thursday 8th November I actually made 3 visits to the plot this week but spent almost all the time working on the panels for the new replacement compost bin, first rearranging the planks to form a solid surface on one side and then removing the base blocks. Finally I covered each panel with landscape fabric taking care to fold in the edges, especially the raw edges but even the selvage, and staple them down firmly. By the end of the week I had four nicely prepared panels ready to construct the actual bin. I did manage to weed one of my brassica tunnels and, at the same time, remove the dead and dying leaves but - I also started lifting a row of tiny carrots which I had sown far too late but hoped they would serve as baby carrots. (They subsequently were found to be riddled with carrot fly larva tunnels and were totally unusable!) I need to use fleece or, better still, Enviromesh next year.
While the carrots were rubbish - the chard thinnings were very tasty!
