February at the Digging the Earth Allotment
February 1, 2019As you’d expect, it’s still very cold here in Derbyshire, it’s snowing as I write this. This month, for me is going to be all about planning and preparation.
Easter Ground Preparations
April 1, 2018We are not particularly big fans of either method of dig or no dig and are pretty open minded to both still, continuing to experiment as we go along, this gives us somewhat of a patchwork plot, some covered with a layer of organic matter for the winter, some parts covered with plastic and membrane and others simply winter dug over. I quite like the variety.
Organising Seeds for the Year Ahead
January 12, 2018Each year, before I start ordering I like to take a look through all of the seeds that I already have. Invariably I end up with a few stashes here there and everywhere. My first job is to gather them all up and bring them home from the allotment.
Autumn at the Allotment
November 13, 2017Having spent just a couple of half days ‘up the allotment’ over the past couple of weeks, with a clear list of jobs, we seem to have gotten a lot done!!
Patching Up the Greenhouses
March 20, 2017I decided rather than put them straight into the bin and in the true spirit of allotmenteering! I’d take them to the plot and see if I could find a use for them.
