Bit of a site update - making some headway on getting the plot ready for the 2016 season - much easier than this time last year as the density of perennial weed roots is far lower. Half way through the onion plot digging right now:
This was where we planted spuds last year and salad later on. Clear the effect of digging over and adding some manure here. Speaking of which we are working out way through the autumn delivery:
This represents really good value and a key for improving our heavy soil. There's some other housekeeping to do on the site, repairing the windbreak:
Not impressed with this breaking, will try to find some better timber to make the fence from over the next couple of weeks. Finally, while we know we have a lot of clay on the site this is taking the mick:
