Finally It's Arrived! Finishing The No-Dig Raised Beds
I've been waiting weeks for a delivery of top soil to finish filling the No-Dig raised beds at the allotment garden. Finally we can get this garden project finished! It's time to put the raised bed project.. to bed!
It may be January, but we are still busy at the allotment, sowing hardy crops such as cabbage, onion, beetroot. And sowing peppers and aubergines at home. I'm tidying the plot for spring, and getting DIY projects finished.
I like to get these big projects done during the winter when nothing is growing.
The allotment now consists of mostly No-Dig wooden raised beds now due to the soil being very heavy clay yielding poor results last year.
I'm going to get cracking filling these beds before storm eowyn hits on Friday!

Переглядів 12 тис.4 години тому
January is the quietest time of the year in the garden, and not much is growing. And whilst it is too early to sow many crops, there are quite a few you can sow early for a head start!

I'm down at the allotment sowing some of the first seeds of the 2025 growing season. ...
Snowy January Allotment Garden Tour❄️
Переглядів 3 тис.День тому
January is the quietest and coldest month at the allotment vegetable garden. Not many vegetables are growing, besides the overwintering brassicas such as cabbage and broccoli. And the usual garlic... With not much growing, I'm still keeping busy. I think it's vital that we keep moving during these cold winter months - it's good for our mental and physical health! Anyway, because the channel has...
Planting In January And An Allotment Update
Переглядів 4,9 тис.14 днів тому
The allotment is under snow and ice in January, so not many jobs we can do this week. The bare root strawberry plants have arrived, which means I need to get them planted today in preparation for spring. With things freezing this week, the strawberries will just stay dormant and grow when things warm up. Freezing conditions won't harm them, as strawberries are perennials. The onions, peppers, a...

Whilst I have been busy away from the allotment and not down as much, I've still been cracking on building and filling those rai...

Переглядів 2 тис.Місяць тому
Allotment gardening has its many challenges. Pests and disease can wreak havoc on our crops, making things incredibly difficult. Sometimes pests can obliterate entire crops leaving us with little to no harvest. The most famous garden pest, and enemy of every gardener, has to be the slug. But there's a pest even more troublesome and destructive at my allotment at the moment.. the rat! As cunning...

Overdoing it and becoming burnt out is easily done. When you add running a UA-cam channel to the equation, and all other aspects of life: work, family, and much much more.. it becomes a balancing act, and juggling everyth...
