Measuring up and raking

This weekend we split up the plots. The plan was to divide the plot up into three strips from top to bottom of the allotment for each family. All was measured up and we each have a plot 4.95m/5.7m x 15.2m, with room for paths between them.

In other news:

  • Charlotte and I split out our plot into six (not yet) raised beds and helped Andy do the same.
  • Knocked together two compost heaps from odds and sods from around the field.
  • Chris and Andy went to war on the nettles. The chooks now have free run their patch
  • I met an ex-chicken farmer at a wedding who gave loads of handy hints about feeding, daylight exposure  and egg yields.
  • And we fixed the roof on main barn.

Very satisfying!
