New Old Tools

Friend of mine gave me some old tools.  They're really well made as they're old school :-)
Cleaned them up and oiled them, so they should last a lifetime. :-)

Beds - Getting there slowly.

With forays for scrap wood, and fitting in time where I can, the beds are slowly coming together.
Whilst I plan to use the "no dig" method, I did in fact dig them over once to start with, then covered them to keep weeds at bay until I get to planting.
I don't have access to any wood chip yet, so plan to use any rotten wood no good for building as a 'layer' on the pathways for the time being.

Mini Beasts

Don't remember the last time I saw a millipede, but seen several while digging and clearing.
Seen a few centipedes too.

Amazing things.

Making Beds

After a winter of being extremely busy in life, and only a few visits to tackle weeds, we finally got to getting the levels done, and making some edges from the old wood and some plastic barriers that were buried there lol.
Back breaking work :-( 
Now frantically trying to get things done for Spring.

Plan is to have 5 beds with paths between. Not raised, but at least edged.

x1 fruit
Beds A B C for yearly rotation of crops.
x1 Permanent bed. So far thinking of Asparagus to start with.
