Hi All, the other day I bought some kale and spring cabbage plug plants from eBay, for my allotment, so I went over today and planted them out and put up some covers for them,

I made up some small poly tunnels , I planted through weed membrane to stop weeds growing and to save on watering,

I have a few more plants to plant out and a few more tunnels to put up but that will be tomorrow, for spring cabbage and my Broad beans,

The advantage of these are I can grow small plant in them first when the weather is cold, wet, snowing or windy, then take the plastic cover off of these in the spring time, then cover them with small netting to stop the butterfly's eating them,

I'll put some more picture up to morrow.

Hi all, well I thought I  would give it another try, after talking to my wife, do I or don't I, I'll thought i would give it another try, so last week I went over to the plot and split my plot into two,

section one, I've covered with old compost then with a green tarpaulin, I'll leave this for a year allowing the worms to break down the compost and the lack of light to kill off the weeds.

section two, with weed membrane, I'll plant this section in spring, I may plant through the membrane, this will stop weeds from growing, keep the soil moist, and save me from digging, or remove it, dig the soil and them plant it,

the way I covered the site was to make out the beds then came in 6" to secure the membrane, then dug a trench around it , I placed the edge of the membrane into the trench and refilled the soil,
