The story so far...



The original state of the allotment - weeds 6'
high. Jeremy and Nat tackled them with a hired strimmer.









The first harvest! Cheating really, but the apples were unpicked and at the end of their season when we took over the allotment.











Digging over the first section of ground, ready for planting.











We spotted a pile of wood chippings at the entrance to the allotments, and created a passable path with them.

So far, we've been burning the weeds in an incinerator that we found on Freecycle, rather than composting them, which would run the risk of the seeds surviving.
