Allotment #1
I began to rent a "small" allotment from Bristol City Council in mid-September 2007.
There's compost bins, a pond and half a shed. The previous tennent also supplied me with:
- 6 x black currant
- 6 x red currant
|
- 4 x gooseberry
- 4 x white currant
|
- 10 x raspberry
- 10 x strawberry
|
- 2 x dwarf cherry tree
- 6 x dwarf apple tree
|
- 1 x dwarf pear tree
- 1001 x weeds
|
My first steps were, removal of an existing fruit cage, slashing the brambles
and nettles down, and putting down weed-suppressing black woven fabric.
More recently, I have been planting currant bushes through the black fabric -
and I've built a fruit cage.
