So, today was day-two on plot 243.
On day-one we used brush cutters and strimmers, today it was rakes and a box of matches.
The strimming and several years of neglect had left behind a lot of plant material to clear away. We've spent the day raking it up .
 |
| If it can be composted it will go on the compost heap |
We also found enough bits of rubbish and plastic to fill two black bin bags - a selection of old rusty tools - bricks and rubble - and some flower bulbs pushing through the soil.
 |
| Metal for recycling |
 |
| Rubble for the skip |
 |
| Windows for a cold frame - maybe |
But, we had a bonfire for the woody stuff and perennial weed roots.
 |
| Simon keeps the fire burning |
We'll spread the ash - so nothing will go to waste
 |
| The allotment stare - contemplating what to tackle next |
 |
| Maybe a cup of tea will help |
 |
| Green shoots - uncovered |
 |
| Christina takes another load to the compost heap |
 |
| Sun is setting - time to put out the fire and go home |
