On the allotment: 12th November - Andrew has planted up a new soft fruit area.  This has involved a great deal of digging, followed by the addition of  well-rotted manure and the laying of a  Mypex geotextile membrane to retain moisture and control weed regrowth.  Planting holes were cut through it and the new fruit bushes are now nicely tucked in for the winter.
