Ok, so today we face the daunting task of turning the rubble filled wasteland into a productive allotment. Hmmmmm, alright, so its not going to happen over night, with that in mind we decided to just clear some, well, crap!
So, armed with nice new pink edged gloves and an unrelenting enthusiasm, Tammy, Matt and I got to it (Louise was otherwise detained playing, aghem, BINGO with her sister!!!) The results are pictured below, tho it looks pretty rough still, check out the previous blog for what this patch of land looked like before the rubble move!
I kinda wish we had counted the number of fire doors, UPVC double glazing units and random bits of metal, not to mention the breeze blocks and bricks we moved during this visit but it's fair to say, this was not a gardening session. Given that none of us have manual jobs, this was quite the baptism of fire as regards grafting.
As you can see, we had some pretty big pieces to shift with nowhere to really put them. In the end, we have had to sacrifice our dreams (OK my dreams) of a super duper composting system. This is going to have to wait until we can systematically rid ourselves of the countless window frames, seriously, you could reglaze half of Doncaster with whats on that plot. I'm hoping my failure to provide an adequate composting system is not held against me by my composting hero, Monty Don. One day Monty, one day!
