So what did we really start with back in July 2006 - and why didnt I take any photos????
Well we finally convinced the parish council we wantd a Lotty after 2 months of being told about waiting lists etc - I think it was a way of filtering out those that were not serious. Plot no 14 was 10 by 50 metres, and waist high in weeds - bramble, bindweed and couch. The council had maintained it by ploughing most of it every year - it was out of use for about 5-6 years - so they ploughed and rotavated it again for us.
And yes - all those nice bindweed and couch grass roots - boy didnt they have fun!!!
Step 1
Planning - we wanted a focused appoach to maximise time and energy spent - plus we wanted to go organic and no dig - so first steps - bit of paper and some scribbled ideas.
As to the photos - well it was bloody hot - we had a lot of work to do - and we were overawed by what we wanted to achieve - so tough!!
