What an ignorant person you are
I sometimes wonder if there should be aptitude tests for new plot holders.Why do people take plots on and build raised beds without a thought for clearing and levelling the site.Nearly as bad is the dimwits that get a plot and start cutting beds in willy nilly.Its fairly simple, start at one end, and in one corner and dig the lot.If you don't like hard work, hand the plot back.Some silly mare the other day started moaning to me that she ached, and had blistered her fingers, she'd only been there half hour.She got the hump when I said give the plot to someone who can hack it then.Bloody lightweights.A testament to today's culture of instant results, without wanting to put in the hard yards.
Betula, sorry love, but since I don't know you I have to ask.Are you retarded?I've posted saying these people waste my time, why on earth would I help them.I've dug plots for retired people who have had them years, I've helped single plotholders put sheds up, or unload muck.I spend my week grafting, I can spot grafters, and I'll help them, but I beggared if I'm gonna put my self out for someone that's not prepared to help themselves.You really don't get it do you?Back you go to your fluffy little world where everyone loves one another, and you can spend all day discussing how to do something without actually achieving anything.
I'm sorry if it came out as nasty, but what can you do when despite saying repeatedly I dislike lazy people who are too bone idle to invest their own time in finding out how to do something.The same happy clappy, tambourine banging rubbish comes back at you.Some people are worth helping, most aren't.Fact of life, people who work hard succeed, those that don't find other unsuccessful people and talk about it.
Now back to the subject of heavy clay ::)Builders sand smotherd over the plot helps break down the clay and aids drainage. You dont have to dig it in if you dont want as the rain and worms will do that for you, but it will take time. Then plant spuds as these will break up the soil furtherBuy bales of straw and spread that out on the soil too (and or spuds). Cheap and cheerful.
