The dry grass (which was as high as an elephants eye!) has now been burnt off the new plot by friendly allotment folks.  Soil now exposed, but not level - it looks there are a number of those 'sleeping policemen' speed bumps on the plot (presumably where there was a vague attempt at a bed system in the dim and distant past!)  

Do y'all have any advice on how I  level it out?  Do I just dig in an orderly fashion down the plot? Or across the plot?  Will that do it?  This ones a long term project alright!  :o

Hi AC,
On the beeb I was talking of putting hubby in the lottie. He had decided to help me dig and did four rows down to sub soil then left a trench and never returned >:(
 so I have a raised aera. To fill it I was going to put him in it and someone else was going to send his wife  :o ha ha.
When you dig it go the oppersite way to the humps this should level it off for you.
But do be carefull bodies could be lurking  ;) ha ha  and dont go down on haloween hehehe Teresa

Thanks T - that makes sense!  Of course that means a digging row will be on the looooooooong edge doesn't it (it will take me about a month to do one row!)  Lead me to it!  ;)

PS I'll report on 'finds' as I go along....

Everything I find will be investigated for intrinsic value!  A fortune could be made...

Thus far, I have seen several drinks cans in varying degrees of decay, two motor oil cans circa 1999, the remains of a rusty scaffold pole and a veritable mountain of 'spoil' at one end of the plot (presumably the remains of the couch grass) - no, no fortune....

Keep going AC you never know what comes up next. I have had the cans bottles bricks angle iron and now thick wire cannot find the end of it to save my life.
And them lottie committee chaps down there say it was worked last year a big BS to them all. Who do they think they are trying to kid a 5 year old, I may be a little blonde but not dumb >:( Teresa
