Bit more bramble bashing, got rid of a couple of trees that were taking up space and shaded out by the almond. Dug over a 3x3m patch and got rid of loads of bramble roots.
Looks like we’ll end up with a bit of a step down from the back but just a gentle slope from there on down. Big pile of crap is getting bigger.
Met a few neighbours, apparently our plot has been vacant 4-5yrs at least.

So surprising given that you always hear demand for allotments is so high, but perhaps people saw it and didn't want to take on the work. It probably took a tree surgeon not to be too daunted. :)

We were waiting 2years on the list. I was clear when I applied I wasn’t afraid of a bit of a challenge ;)
Aside from the digging and the amount of waste I’ve generated I didn’t see it as that big a job to sort it out...
