A lot of work to do.......

It's a hive of industry at the moment Nathan isn't it? All that pricking out into pots - still, if you are having a wettish Easter like us, the PolyT's the best place to be with a radio and a cuppa. Have you got a potting bench so you don't have to bend down all the time.
Look after your back,

lovely pictorial update today,

 

Nathan you're certainly making good progress...I can't wait to see it all dug over and filled with veg at least a bit of rain will make the digging a little bit easier...it's a mammoth task but you're getting there..it's great looking back to the start of this thread and watching it change...go steady

 

Those peas look they need planting out ASAP.

 

glad you got that pile shifted while there was still space in the trailer

 

I cannot help seeing a hole dug 12 X 25 and 10 foot deep - then a poly tunnel over it and some solar array heater and indoor swimming pond! A trash burning heater too! I heated a house in Atlanta for three winters with a wood burning stove I made out of a 35 gallon steel barrel that sat in the dining room and vented up a chimney.

In Iran there are large towers hundreds of years old out for no apparent reason - but they were massive pigeon coops kept by the melon growing farmers so they could fly off and feed on the grain farmers crops producing squabs for the table, and guano for the melons. Iran has a tradition of pigeon battles where the roof top keepers try to use their flocks to lure, and then catch, rival pigeon keepers birds.

Andy Capp kept them, and most famous of all, Mike Tyson the boxer is a serious pigeon fancier and racer. He said he loves his birds because he is just the pigeon human to them, not the celebrity fighter. I say go for it.



And, seriously, my wife wants to keep guinea pigs for meat. Can feed them from foraged foods and they breed fast, and are a nice two person meal size.

Lots of things to get up to on a nice big allotment like that.

 

So nice to see you really getting into it Nate, after all the work you put in to create GC, you were too busy to enjoy the forum, hardly heard a peep out of you the first year I was on board

 

Loved the vid Nathan. Always seems as though you have the place to yourself. Nice to see the tatties emerging. And the tunnel's looking really good now;

looked back at your January vid - what an transformation...

 

Great fun watching Web. I would put a leg, and it just needs to be a prop, not attached, in the middle of that span to avoid sagging.

I am watching as I write, luxuriant manure - older the better, as yours is, because I learned the hard way about weed seeds and horse manure. I still get flushes of them whenever I turn the soil. I am kind of watching out for some old windows wrecked out at construction sites to make a starting frame for cold weather seed starting.

 

that thought crossed my mind too,
Jenny

 

Youm not lazy Webm,
Jenny

 

Concerned at the Poly tunnel Nathan, I had a blow away made of that stuff and within a year the clear bits had now become holes and I ended up with a green NET ?
Stopped it blowing away but it did not let any heat build up
