Well here we go again!
It's January and time to get the
plot back in order after its months of neglect while I was fishing.
What's first. Well the goal this
year is to improve the infrastructure of the plot. To Start with
I am in desperate need of a shed, lugging the tools and everything
else needed on the plot every time I visited it in 2003 was a
real pain. So I have invested in one of the old sheds from a
vacant plot all that is needed now is to dismantle the thing,
move it to it's new home and erect it, put a new roof on it,
put a new floor in it and replace the roofing felt used to protect
the walls. The roof I intend to put on is a clear corrugated
plastic type so the shed will twin as a potting shed. Not a lot
of work then?
Next I want to line the beds with
wood. The string and canes I used last year did a good enough
job but no matter how much you tried not to trip over the string
it happened. Also I want to raise the depth of the beds by adding
lots of home made compost.
It was my intention to build wooden
composting bins but I do not think I will have the time to do
this in 2004. So I am liberating a plastic type composting bin
I already have at home and I will acquire another for the plot.
The other type of bin I really need is a couple of water buts
which will collect the water from the roof of the shed. To add
to this I am going to introduce a stand pipe in the center of
the plot to help making watering of crops such as Sweet Corn
etc much easier and the need for a extra long hose pipe will
be eliminated.
Oh and before I forget grow some
lovely crops along the way and find time to fit in my job as
a Retail Manager.
