Wow, you are a hard worker, that is a lot of work to start beds from nothing. I would imagine at least there would be something left from the other people using the allotment in the past.
Thank you! Yeah I think you're right normally. Unfortunately, other than a slab of concrete and a lot of weeds there's nothing! Having said that I think I prefer the blank canvas anyway 😊
Hi Luke. I'm hoping to get an allotment allocated soon so am watching your videos in readiness for my big start :) Have you ever heard of Charles Dowding and his 'No Dig' method? His way of making new beds is very simple indeed and does not use raised beds. He has tons of videos on TH-cam which are well worth a watch especially his compost making skills. Good luck with your venture :)
I LOVE Charles Dowding! I'm sort of copying his method for the beds but making a few small tweaks (digging around the edge). I've got the cardboard down in this video and next video I'll be putting the compost down :) Best of luck for your allotment!! 🌱
Oh how exciting Luke have fun and don’t work too hard. I can understand no raised beds especially if you have room. Have a great weekend, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦
Thanks Ali! I wish I had your advice earlier, about not working too hard, but I'm super happy with the project so far! 🌱
You’ve done so much. Lots of people underestimate how long it takes to put down cardboard, mulch and weed membrane. You’re doing so well! 🤎
Thank you, I really appreciate that! 😊
