Allotments 4 All

I want to remove the grass section in the above image but have my compost bin near.

Is it ok for this to be located so close and also i have notice there are a lot of ant activity.

Shall this be ok to extend the growing area ? ???

yeeha! your off and running, i knew you'd get the bug. get rid of the grass, grow more fruit/veg, then run out of space again and get yourself an allotment. x

I'd knock the fence down as well and just keep on going  ;D

how the replies made me laugh - very good! ;D ;D Sorry, Chris, can't help you with your query. Are you on a waiting list for an allotment?

Hehehe yeh i have the bug!

Nope no alotment for me, just the garden  ;)

But any adivce would be great  ;)

with such limited space id go for it and whilst at it id dig in the compost and use the bin for growing potatoes in !

lawns are SO overrated.  :P

Some good advice here chris:

you could lay down newspaper, spread the compost over the lawn and start planting straight away! ;D

But if that's a Mimosa in the corner you should hang on to it - lovely plants.

Ok thats it done, whew that was tough going, took me 2 hours and my back hurts now......worth it tho.  ;)

There were loads of tree roots n the soil so took longer than i thought.

I'll post some new pics tomorrow once its daytime again.

Now what to plant  ;)

hee hee, so easily led !   ;) :P

You could always plant a marrow, gourgette or melon etc.. near the compost bin - they really like that  ;D

Here are some pics, just taken of the new section of land.

sooner or later the only patch of grass with be a foot square around the washing line.

;D

well done Chris.

;D

well done chris. I wish my hubby can  help me dig the grass up ;D

blimey you don't hang about do you Chris? :o well done that digger!
Can't wait for Phase III ;)

not a good idea for a phase 3  ;)

If my fater in law had it his way the whole garden would be potatoes, and the garden is very large!   ;)

your F-I-L sounds like a very sensible man.

;D

anybody want to bet he digs up more lawn next march/april?
HE'S GOT THE BUG......(no blade of grass is safe)
sell your lawnmower and buy LOADS of seeds for next year......or a greenhouse.  ;D x well done

You'll soon be wanting an allotment.
