Well, I’ve now been down to the plot about 3 times since the council strimmed all the weeds back. It’s not in bad condition – a bit of dock and couch grass and a light covering of normal grass, not too bad at all considering it wasn’t cultivated for almost a year.
I have decided to go for a bed system and now have the wood ready and waiting in the back yard at home. Will be cutting it down to size and building mostly 2.4m x 1.2m beds, I’ll then grass the paths in between.
I’ve also been madly planning what I’m going to grow and have signed up the Growveg Garden Planner site which for a bit of a techie like me is great! So I’ve ordered a variety of seeds from Real Seeds who sound like a great company – small, environmentally sound and just nice people, they even encourage you to save seed and not buy from them again. Sounds good to me.
