Day One On My First Allotment | Allotment For Beginners | Allotment Transformation

Do you buy these little plots or rent them how does it work

I put my name down for an allotment a couple of weeks ago, thinking it would be a months or years wait, and got a text a couple of days later saying there was half a plot (which is plenty!) available 😂 I took it as I thought maybe it was now or never! Very unprepared but it’s in a better state than yours so that’s good for me who’s a total novice. Need to dig it over - and need to google how to do that haha

I love jumping back to beginnings.. What a lovely allotment site. What is the long seating for in the neighbouring plot ?

IV just watched again X gem you have done loads Yo🎲🎲🎲u and Vinnie xx

How big is your plot? I just got a 5 pole plot so trying to compare sizes

that plot must have been unused for a while.

I agree with other comment on moving shed away from tree. Perhaps closer to the edge of plot near path where you can get access to tools. it wont take up valuable plot for growing.

Great work

Great channel 🎉

Hi there. I just started my own channel, as I got an allotment plot(3). I saw your channel and watched your videos to get some ideas, good work hun, keep it up.

I enjoyed your video 😊 I will subscribe! I was just wondering, how big your plot is? I'm going to look at one on Monday, I think it is 5 poles. Thanks 😊

Good lord, that guy don't mess about does he! What he did in a day would take me a month lol

Golly, it takes a strong person to not flinch at the sight of all that work. The two of you seem ready, though. Best of luck.🇨🇦👍🥕👩‍🌾🍅

How exciting 😀 I'm going to check out our new plot for the first time tomorrow I can't wait to get stuck in with the help of my grandchildren 🥰

Wow what an impact a few hours make!

These alotment gardens are cool .wish we had the same in australia

Blimey what a difference a strimmer makes. Just started watching you MR video from day one as I started on day 7. Keep up the good work

Put your nettles in a big barrel add rain water or tap then you’ll have nettle tea to feed your plants great nitrogen hit 🙂

I can’t wait to see how it develops!
Fantastic:)

Hiya From southern Ontario Canada Thankyou for sharing looking forward to watching upcoming journey with you both. 🐝🇨🇦

I'm very much looking forward to following your new allotment adventure. I also got my first plot about a month or so ago. So incredibly rewarding. Have fun and wishing you all the very best.

Wow you're so lucky, I've had my name down for years now. looking forward to watching your garden progress.

I'm so curious how it will develop, done much that day

Looks great! Cheers from Canada!

How exciting!! Good luck with the allotment 😁

Absolutely amazing the garbage people leave on allotments but your doing a fantastic job 👏👏👏. You will be so happy once done clearing out and planting. Great job from SW Canada 🇨🇦🐝 safe

Not sure where in the UK you are, but is it usual to have to wait as long as you have ?

Beautiful plot ready & waiting for you to bring it back to life & create something amazing 🤩 can’t wait to see it develop.

I got my plot last year. It’s been so much fun. Watch Steve from greenside up as he has amazing tips & advice when starting a new plot. He covers EVERYTHING 👍🏻 he’s really helped me. good luck 🍀

Looking forward to following your journey on the new allotment, and see what you going to do with it :D

What a beautiful plot and tree stumps. Can’t wait to watch. 😊 🌞

measure your plot reasonably accurate and fid out where North is this will give you the layout for your plot. don't try and do it all in a week or a month ... its a marathon not a sprint. You can always cover it with landscape fabric or black plastic while you decide and weigh it down with some big tubs from your local pound shop and grow stuff in these to give you a crop while you clear it. then when it comes to planting just roll a bit back and sort that.

Moving the shed by the tree is OK but dont forget it will be dry under the shed so you'll be taking up some of the rainfall from the tree. better to have some grass under there and sit under it for shade.

Take a look at Steve 'Greenside up' s videos on starting a new plot ... well worth it

Most of all Enjoy it You've got it for life if you want it 😎

Now your plot has been trimmed, you need to work out which area you are going to use first, this area will need to be dug over, and as many roots you can get at removed, the rest can be covered over before weeds start growing back. Good luck and don't give up, keep going, and do a bit by bit. You can cover the plot with black plastic to stop the light from reaching the ground to weaken weeds and stop the germination of weed seeds that are already in the ground. All the best.

Will be following you from the USA. I LOVE Allotment video's. Happy 🚜 farming

Lovely plot to inherit. The water and bird song added bonus.

Looking forward to following your journey on the new allotment!
