Hi I have been digging over my allotment. It has loads of bricks, weeds, wood loads of household rubbish. I have been raking it into big piles and then shovelling it through a sieve into a pot. The soil is coming out really dark and looks a bit like top soil that I have seen in the nurseries. Have I made top soil? I am goint to put together my raised beds tomorrow. They are all marked out and all I have to do is put together. I am loving this, it was a windy rainy day and I ache but it is fantastic! Thanks for all the previous advise it really helped.
