Removing netting and pea haulms

19/11/2018

Monday 19th November
2 panels prepared for last comopst bin - ready for when I get a round 'tuit'. (- around to it!)
Having worked on the compost bins almost exclusively all week I looked at the far end of my plot that is getting more and more weedy. This year's weather hasn't helped my pass and I've had a poor crop so I needed to get rid of the old plants. It took a while to remove and clean the netting of pea tendrils and leaves but I managed to fold each piece into a plastic bag labelled with the size and stored in the greenhouse.

It remains to get rid of the weeds!
I then returned to compost bin building as I prepared the last two pallets for replacing the last compost bin when I get a round 'tuit' (or around to it!)

Removing the planks from the back and fitting them into the gaps on the front, I removed the blocks and braces to leave a solid panel that will make excellent sides to the bin when I construct it. Just need to find two more pallets/panels!

Hi! As "Webmaster" for this site I feel a bit of a fraud.
I am neither an expert at IT nor at growing vegetables. I do enjoy playing at both, however.
I have a 10 rod plot in the middle of the site, having transferred in 2012 from a 5 rod plot I had been cultivating for about 5 years. I needed to give myself space to grow a wider range of crops.
I will be recording my thoughts and activities on the allotment as well as sharing any knowledge and information I gain in my 'travels'.
I constantly seek hints and advice from my neighbouring, and usually more knowledgeable, plot holders and will pass on anything I think is of general use via this blog.
