MAIN CLEARANCE






After debating long and hard on where to start I decided to hit the worst area first. The majority of the weeds consisted of brambles and nettles. After a good few hours of digging the roots out and removing the growth I had cleared half of the bottom end of the plot.

I then decided to give the weeding a rest and to start laying the shed base. After a bit of raking the ground level I started to move the slabs, which I had acquired for free off a mate, into position. The base is 10' x 8'. After I had finished this I went back to my weeding duties and finished the other half of the plot at the bottom end. I have also found a network of tunnels which belong to the rabbit family so I did the right thing and filled them in! There will be no more rabbits on my plot!


Looking at how much work I'd done in a few hours I was very pleased with it and so I decided to hang up my fork and spade until next time.




My next jobs are as follows ....
For the month of october
Clear all of the scrap metal off the plot ( trip to the tip )
Burn all of the weeds I removed
Continue to dig over the middle section of the plot
Cover all dug beds with black weed suppresser
