Photographs

First Photo's!

Right, so I dont seem to be able to put titles onto the photographs, so I'll do a little explaining here.

Cold Frame - thinking of getting one of these but we're not sure if its absolutely necessary.

Our Plot - taken from the bottom end, as you can see its fairly large.

Cleared Area - We had to do a lot of clearing to remove broken glass, plastic, metal bits and, bizarrely, circut board shards...? Then I gave it a good rake over. Oh, and I pulled out loooads of roots that must be from the hawthorn hedge growing along the side.

Tarpaulin - As I cant do it all at once, any covered areas can be kept weed-free by covering them with plastic sheets or old carpet.

Dug Over 1 - 9 foot area by 8 foot, roughly. I dug it over to loosen the soil and break it down as its all in clumps.

WORM! - I was glad I found this, it shows the soil is still able to support life, its just not in good condition. I found a few dead ones too, but mostly living ones.

Greenhouse - At the moment, this is the centre of our operations. Its ever so warm me duck!

Rasberry canes - I was just soaking these as they'd been in my porch for a few days with the roots bare. I stuck them in about 1 1/2 feet apart in a cleared area with some compost mixed into the hole to give them a boost.

The last two are pics of how the ground started to break up the more I turned it. Have a look at the Jargonbuster section.
