Check out my NEW video over on my NEW TH-cam channel all about this allotment space. th-cam.com/video/e2uqrO1HJQw/w-d-xo.html
Biking to your allotment once or twice a week sounds like great exercise and great meditation. A path in the middle could just be a line to walk to maintain the area in the middle. For me, it would be too wide to reach in from the sides.
There are people planting their plants in a depression in the soil, so it creates a windbreak, water moat, insulated zone for the plant. The ones I have seen decrease the level of the entire bed though, so might not work for you, and mostly used in desert gardens. It is a very interesting idea though.
If you can find the hole in your boots, try taping the inside and duct taping the outside. I have patched all sorts of things with duct tape. Yes, eventually it fails, in which case you can do it again, or at that time, get a new item. However, the duct taped, cracked outer wall of my hose is still not leaking, 3 years after it started to crack, so that is 3 years of less consumption of that item. The duct tape is something we have had for over 10 years now and it is still a giant roll.
An hour and a half from the Netherlands! He didn’t make bad time 😂 that’s how I heard that when listening 😂
He's done well to cycle from The Netherlands in that time. What was the mistake in the end? Did you ever get round to saying what it was?
Yes, I mentioned it twice in the video.
Where will those with plots in the middle of this field put their sheds?
On their plots like every other allotment site.
My mistake. I thought you planned to put your shed by the side of your plot on the grass
Nope.
Good to see this on land instead of new builds😊
Shhh...t! LOL! I did no dig this year. Truthfully, I have never had so much abundance of food in the past 40 to 50 years of gardening as I had this year. And the flowers were unexpectedly over-abundant. I put annuals alongside perennials - 5 rows of asparagus I put in as seed a couple of years ago. Everything grew so incredibly tall and produced no stop for months.
I used spent hay for mulch because I had it on hand. But I have my no dig in my backyard. No travelling involved.
That's massive, cool.
i wouldn't worry about raking it, just let it go, the creepy crawlies won't care.
me and the wife have an alotment haveing to ask to do stuff like have a shed whould drive us crazy i mean its an alotment its expected
That is an epic space.
Looking at the distance you have to wheel the compost to your plot, you wont need to bike to the allotment to lose weight. Great new channel.

True 🤣 Abs by Christmas
The plots look similar to the ones used by a TH-camr John (Tokyo allotment) I follow. They have to reapply for a plot each year and must clear the plot completely in January. They have communal tools too. Looks like a good idea.
We don't have to do that on these plots so it doesn't sound like the same place.
Looking forward to seeing all you produce out of this allotment.
Great job!
Sean, plastic bag in the leaker, that's what mum always did for us kids 🙂
Hi Sean, is there just the one water tank for all those plots ? Good call getting a plot next to it. And are there any on site facilities?
If the site is run by Roots allotments they do a cycle to grow scheme with 0%finance on electric bikes.
There are tanks throughout the site. Yes I’ve seen the bike scheme, just need to save up first.
What is happening to the other allotment ? I thought you were doing rather well there. This new one is open to the elements , it looks terrible ! It has no soul unlike the other one. 😮
I clearly state in the video that is it a NEW allotment site so of course it's going to look bare for the first year. The other allotment is doing very well, latest video from there came out last week.
Wow, that is a lot of compost ! I bet that coast a pretty penny lol
Very considerate to put the shed where it doesn’t shade your neighbor’s plot.💥
Why stress out nearby neighbours when it’s not necessary. Positive vibes only.
How much does this no dig plot cost for a year stick with it sean😊
£219.
@@seanjamescameronblimey!!
What lovely land and starting something new. It will be Lovely to see what you grow on there.
Love the weather. Sunny, rain, rainbow, then cold. The plants will love it for the most part. The allotment is a nice size and you will have plenty of neighbors. Fun video and the cats are too cute.
What was the mistake as im thinking of getting a roots allotment in leeds Yorkshire
Watch the video and find out.
Getting started Sean... it will be good to watch your progress . .
You certainly cram a lot into your day. Look after your back you will need it on that plot. Good to see the cats again enjoying themselves.
Little by little wins the race. 👍
Sounds you need the Jim 😂
Never met the man 🤣
It is more like a farm Than an allotment site. You should get nice crops from virgin soil.
Will be interesting to see where we are in 12 months.
Truly impressive!
So how much lNd do you get
What’s ind ?
I think the whole concept terribly exciting! No dig! Looking forward to seeing your results next year.
Sean your resilience is amazing. Making changes in many ways is no easy task, keep cleaning and planning! It motivates us too! Thank you!
❤ love no dig
This is one of the best and positive video which you’ve made for the last year, my opinion 😊😊😊 wish you have this progress in everything with “+”, even with appropriate appearance for the meeting )))
I very like your approach, hope Charles appreciated it aswell😊😊😊
Sorry to hear re transportation in London, we have info in each station when the bus will arrive, separated pass for public transport(incl taxi), and options to charge any phone battery inside the most of buses and everywhere in metro…
But anyway, I think you’ve got very good conditions in this allotment, and no need to have the same size of shed as you have on other sides… some privacy could be enough, and sun protection…
Why do you need to level the plot, the veg wont know its not level 😂😂😂
But the water will and if it’s not level it creates frost pockets because it can’t run off 😂😂😂😂
