earthwoman's Lotty garden

Garden Type: Allotment | Sun: Don't Know | Soil: Don't Know

I took over this allotment at the end of September 2007, it was crazily overgrown but I’m really enjoying licking it into shape.

My plan is to grow as many crops as I can eat but to still leave some space for wildlife. Compost heaps are my number 1 bug attractant but I hope that the new pond will soon become a haven as well.

The blog of its life from day 1 can be found at www.earthwoman.co.uk
