As I’m next to the clubhouse building(and my plot was fully vacant for 6yrs but mostly uncultivated for more like 15yrs), down the side of that building has been a dumping ground for generations of plot holders. So far I’ve filled 3 ton sacks and prob one more by the time I’m finished. I have to leave a 1m wide path along the length of the building so all the shitty contaminated soil will be used along that edge after digging over then put 2 layers of membrane down. There’s zero chance the council will maintain it but I’m going to see if they can do me some gravel for the path so I don’t have to keep looking after a woodchip one.
I’m not aiming for perfect and I’m still trying to work out areas that can be a bit more perennial. So glad we didn’t bother with salad on the plot this year.
The question of a potting shed came up again over the weekend but the one we want is a solid grand by the time it’s delivered and a proper base put down for it..
