From a 10 days ago
Managed to remove all god foresaken chicken wire now & strim the whole plot right down.
Unearthed a ready built raised bed so dug that over & covered it. Two beds done now
Acquired a water butt, 6 x paving slabs, bag of bark chippings & some garden canes off freecycle today.
Tuesday
Popped down to weed & water the cauliflower bed. Snipped a few more brambles. Think i'm going to have a digging out brambles blitz.
Today
Managed to get some old carpet off freecycle today
Dug over the second bed again & weeded the cauliflower bed. Weeding isnt taking long now.
My net tunnels arrived. Got them off ebay, two for £25 including postage. Big enough to cover a 3m by 1.2m bed.
So covered the cauliflower bed today with net cloche.
Dug a third bed, clearing all the grass and crap. Will need to go over it again to remove more roots.
Split up loads of pallets so have enough wood to build a couple more beds. Left my saw at home so that put pain to building them today.
Covered all dug beds & more with the carpet.
Need to order some wild flower mixes now as i want to have lots of wild flowers down there. Hopefully plant the right ones to attract friendly bugs
