Graeme's Allotment Blog: Link-a-Bord Raised Bed Built
http://graemesplot.blogspot.com/2009/12/link-bord-raised-bed-built.html
Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Friday, 4 December 2009. Link-a-Bord Raised Bed Built. After finishing work early today, I made my way to the allotments with about £60 worth of 'Link-a-Bord' plastic raised bed gear that arrived earlier in the week. You buy it by the meter with all the joints etc and it all slots together very quickly. A Patch of Dirt.

Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Thursday, 24 December 2009. I managed to get down the plot for a while today to do a few small jobs. I have built the sides for the compost heap from some pallets I acquired. I have given them a coat of green wood preserve. I also painted my plot number on the side of the shed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, 13 December 2009. I've not done a great deal on the plot this weekend. The shed will be the next big job and I haven't got it yet!

Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Monday, 3 May 2010. Not updated for a while. Sorry, I have not updated the blog lately. But then, I've not done a great deal at the allotment either. I wish I'd done a bit of weeding though! I've built two cloches from water pipe and fleece and planted my cabbages and brussels sprouts in them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://graemesplot.blogspot.com/2010/03/elephant-garlic-planted.html
Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Saturday, 20 March 2010. I planted a row of elephant garlic this morning. The cloves are huge. I can't wait to see what the bulbs are like! I also took some soil samples home with me for testing. I'll carry out the tests and put the results up here. 27 March 2010 at 18:43. Will lift and pot them ready for the house move.

Graeme's Allotment Blog: Test Results.
http://graemesplot.blogspot.com/2010/03/test-results.html
Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Saturday, 20 March 2010. I took three soil samples from my plot this morning (one from each main bed) and tested each for:. Acidity, phosphorus and potassium levels are all acceptable. Nitrogen levels were low in all three samples so I will fertilise the soil with some chicken manure. 20 March 2010 at 18:30.

Sunday, 20 December 2009. My Christmas present arrived at home late yesterday. It wasn't gift-wrapped, but I'd have guessed what it was anyway. I wasted no time this morning getting it loaded onto the roof-rack and down to the allotment. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wooden Edges. DONE! Link-a-Bord Raised Bed Built.

Graeme's Allotment Blog: In The Gutter
http://graemesplot.blogspot.com/2009/12/in-gutter.html
Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Thursday, 31 December 2009. Due to the allotment mains water supply being turned off over the Winter, I have decided to invest in a 100 litre water butt and some guttering for the shed. Heavy watering should be confined to the Summer (when the mains water is on), so this 100 litre butt should be enough to see me through.

http://graemesplot.blogspot.com/2009/12/plan-update.html
Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Monday, 28 December 2009. I have modified my plan to allow for three main beds (for crop rotation) and netting for my brassicas. I have also included the work that has been done on the plot already. My next job will be to fit gutters to the shed and run them into a water-butt. 29 December 2009 at 15:07. A Patch of Dirt.

Hello, I'm Graeme. I'm 27 and live in Gosport, Hampshire. This is my first blog and my first attempt at allotmenteering. I have a half plot (7m x 14m) at Brockhurst Allotments in Gosport. Monday, 29 March 2010. A quick update after a brief visit to the plot this afternoon. My rhubarb is coming along quite nicely, some of the garlic has sprouted and the plum tree and raspberry and redcurrant bushes have buds on them now. At home, the cabbages and sprouts are growing and some of the leeks have sprouted.
