13th November 2022 - 2nd Terrace Next Steps
We’ve been away and now back to the Allotment. We have spent a few days before taking these pictures and consequently it appears things have moved on quite a bit.
The remainder of the second part of this boxed-in bed on the new plot is now pretty much sorted, maybe a couple more screws to finish off the job. Also the terrace has now had the black plastic installed and on this side the panels have been added to block the soil from finding its way under the terrace.
The decking surrounds are not ready but the way they have been laid here you can see how they will look in due course. And the wall which finishes off this vegetable plot although not installed is now taking shape and we’re marshalling the resources for when we want to finish everything. The next task is to complete these two beds as it won’t be long before the manure arrives and will be dumped exactly on this section.
In the next picture you can see that the soil needs levelling out, and we will need to work out how to finalise the wall where the soil will rest against, but, this is about as far as we can go now until Chris digs out the Cold Frame (white door) and everything is ready to complete. Like all good building projects, the preparation work always takes way longer than the finishing up and beautifying parts.
