Been absent for a while but now that the season is kicking off with a vengeance I am trying a couple of bits and bobs. Firstly, I invested in a rotovator (I know it's cheating!!) and it has been fantastic taking around an hour to go over the whole allotment - well the bits that are free at present. It cost just over £150, brilliant. I am also going to try seed tapes (Home made using toilet paper) to cut down on thinning out so hopefully it will be a success. I am also going to crack chillie growing this year but haven't decided what new plant to try this year. Happy growing everyone.
