making beds

The fence is up, it’s now time to move some soil. The idea is to create beds and not to dig again giving the soil the chance to become a whole universe of life again, each time soil is ploughed or dug in any way the soil ecosystem is sent into chaos hence why we only want to do this part once.

 It’s a nice feeling seeing the garden take shape, seeing visions of how things may look in a few months’ visions that will hopefully be blown away by reality. A garden space full of insect life, colour and movement.                     

the allotment

We have taken a small area at the back of the allotment to plant a few vegetables. Very shortly we are going to do a major redesign of the rest of the allotment, then at the back end of the year we will redesign this area and incorporate it into the flow of the rest of the garden. But first we need a fence....
