After 3 years without an allotment - due to a house move - it looks like I am just about to get a new plot at my Parish Council's new shiny allotment site.
Super excited.
Great News

Ha Ha!!!
That was a long wait for a new plot. Really pleased for you. Wish you a really good first season. What is the soil like?
It's farm pasture that's just been turned over to allotments, haven't checked the soil yet - we don't get the keys till March, when the site opens - but from my knowledge of the area it's probably a sandy loam of very slightly acid pH.
The site is tucked under the North Downs and the soil changes several times as you head up the slope. I don't think it is chalky this low down the slope.
Good news :icon_cheers:
Brilliant, happy growing 2014 :sunny:
Well done, get the seed trays going. Physically, just take your time, don't try to do it all in one dig.
Have fun.
Digmore. :wave:
