Went back down to Allotment 1 - Had a tidy up
This afternoon me and my mum and my nan went down to Allotment 1 and started to tidy up for about 2 1/2 hours. After the morning where I was unable to do any moving of the raised beds, by the afternoon the frost had cleared and it was relatively sunny, but still very cold. We went down to the bottom of the Allotment and started to clear out all the clutter that I have built up over the years and tomorrow I will start to take it to the local tip to get rid of the stuff I don't want/need anymore and all the rest is in the Polytunnel at present. We also fixed the long box as the back had fallen out so the water will no longer get in as well as the animal that appeared to have been in there at some point last year. The black bags which I had put round the allotment edge appeared to have mostly composted (including the couch grass) and when picked up fell apart so the soil has just been spread out. The wooden cold frame that I have not used I have decided will be broken up and taken to the tip however the glass and metal framed one that was behind the Polytunnel covered in couch grass (I had forgotten about it), I will keep and repair the lids so that I can use it later on during the year and I think I will put this outside the front of the Greenhouse. The large tall shed at the bottom of the Allotment has been put over because of a crack in the top which is allowing water in, which is beginning to rust my tools so this will be repaired at some point in the foreseeable future. Also the Compost bins which can be seen in the pictures may be moved at some point to allow easier access to them however currently I am unsure where to put them. As from the photos below it now shows a lot more space at the bottom of the Allotment.
