Allotment Diary for Tuesday 16th November 2004

<< Back to Allotment Diary November 2004 entries

Managed 3 and a half hours today, although the last half hour was spent putting the world to rights with the allotment rep.

Finished digging the tough patch on plot 29. Incorporated 5 barrow loads of leafmould into the final 4 square yards and 3 barrow loads onto one of the small deep beds that was lower than the others for some reason.

That's the leafmould bin empty now, which is good as the council leaf man promised me a load by the plot on Friday.

I didn't waste the wheelbarrow walking back empty, either. Shipped wood chippings from the big communal pile back and made a path by the comfrey bed.

Too dark to work by 4:30pm. There were a few light drops of rain but otherwise not bad. Someone had left the tap by plot 5 running and plot 4 has a pond instead of a strawberry bed. Careless.

All in all, a good day.
