January 2014 - time for some muck spreading

It's been a while since I had a delivery of manure but a fellow allotmenteer offered to share a load with me.
I turned up on Friday afternoon to be greating to a massive pile of the stuff! Spent over 2 hours forking, barrowing, tipping and spreading on a relatively mild January day.

Covered 3 beds on the bottom allotment:













and where the carrots used to be on the top allotment:













Photos aren't great as it was getting dark by the time I'd finished. I was glad I had my new LED lights on the bike going home!

I've also cleared some more of the rampant strawberry plants too, there's still more to do but it's getting there....




















Next job is to renew some of the wood on the raised beds as some of the posts and lengths are rotting a bit.
