The new fence (Part 2 - 9 February 2012)

I don't think I mentioned that as well as adding the new fence, we'll also be adding a new shed. But the fence has to go on first so onward and upward!


The fence will serve a dual purpose. Not only will it separate the allotment from the neighbouring allotment, it will also be used for planting. There will be a host of wildlife friendly planting as well as bug boxes, bird boxes and whatever else we can get on it.


Marion, one of our regulars and also a qualified Landscape Architect, has started measuring the site so that a proper plan can be drawn identifying what will be planted and where.


Today, work on the fence began in earnest. Holes where dug, and the posts were put in. We only managed 3 today but given the state of the work area (muddier than a muddy thing in muddy town) we did quite well.


As before, you can view photographs here, but a couple to whet your appetite.

It's true, the longer you look at something the easier it is to move

Thanks for looking and more to follow - very soon
