Filled the last of the bags we’ve been offered, the 7th I think—“community payback” drag them to be taken off by the council. Apparently we’re allowed a fire once a year on Nov 5th, so that’ll hopefully see off the pile of bramble stems. Some onions have gone in, next steps are putting some anti-weed cover down & more rooting (tubering?) out of couch grass. Will take a normal hoe down for weeding next visit too.
I feel your blank canvas pain, in fact our council have been in touch (unprompted!) to say ‘sorry it’s so unkempt, here’s the town warden’s details who will help with the removal of debris’. Two 2m wide strips cleared, another 4 to go.
How big is your plot?
Approx 25×5m ie half widthwise of an old school plot. The bit at the back is riddled with old carpet, nettles and bindweed so that’s not really useable, will be toad refuge
