The work doesn’t do itself I say, and I’m just about fed up of waiting around for the rain! X

awww bummer on the mini watermelon. I was the same way with a mini cantaloupe. Oh how you always give me a chuckle and make me smile. Hope the rain slows up so you can get everything prepped wintered over. We went from summer to winter. So cold today. Leaves never had a chance to turn golds and yellows, just turned brown now dropping due to wind and cold. Keep on keepin on.

No golden colours? Thats not fair, that is the only good part of saying bye bye to Summer! I’m glad I make you chuckle, I don’t think I could ever be ‘serious’ 😆 Soon be time to sow seeds though, cross off those days!

My no dig beds have been a dream to weed this year, just like pricking out seedlings. No - Oh my god 😱 after 2 weeks away as an added bonus. Preparing to get 100 bin bags of leaves this year for topping in 2yrs. Try asking local pubs that do Sunday lunch what they do with the meal prep veg scraps, it could lead to a steady supply of composting material for you.

Hey Andrew, I never thought of that, what a great idea! 100 bags will do you well, I need to start collecting more asap.

SUPERB example of dig v no dig, maybe good to share with Charles. Regarding the weed membrane, I don't know what your expereince is but I had some down under raised beds for several years and when I pulled it up the soil looked dead (no insect/creepy crawley life, and bone dry soil). Could you not consider several layers of card instead perhaps? Thank you for posting your winter jobs, I find them inspiring :)

Hey ! The ground and bugs were actually ok underneath, surprisingly. I would use cardboard, but with the neighbour having bindweed it is creeping across, so I didn’t want it growing up as it does, and also, the wood isn’t fab, so this way it will last a couple more years. Tom seeds! Pop me an email (if you haven’t already) to alternativesmallholding@gmail.com and I’ll sort them for you asap Take care

@@Alternativesmallholding Thank you for responding, I think my soil seemed dead as down for many years. Thankfully, I don't have bindweed here. Want some ground elder?! Thanks for the address even if gone.
