Adding Beds To The Allotment.

Hi Hivers, I had to share today's antics down the allotment.

When I took my allotment a few months ago, I knew it was going to be hard work, I had a plan and like all my plans they change, either due to the weather, family life, or my brain.

Like every time I go down the plot I end up changing my mind about something, and it's great because there is no one around, other than my wife who can tell when I am winging it.

Anyway back to today, I decided that I would have raised beds all the way down my allotment, I thought about how it would look and got to the building, then when I had got my first row of raised beds in, I changed my mind.

I decided to take them down and turn the soil, which I didn't really want to do as I was going for a no-dig approach, but the idea was to give myself something kind of level to work from.

I've added some woodchips for my paths and made the beds 12 feet x 4 feet, and I think that it looks better than when I first started.

I am leaving my apple tree in the middle of the path as I think it won't harm having to work around it.

The water buts are not staying there either, but again I could change my mind like I always do, anyway what do you guys think?
