Allotment Update May 2024, Allotment Diary, Allotment Gardening
This is essentially a series of video diaries showing the development of my allotment plot.
The plot size is 16.1metres long and 12.1 metres wide. I took the decision, based upon my previous allotment experience, to create raised beds throughout the whole site. The larger beds are 6 metres in length with the smaller beds being 3.6 metres in length. All beds being 1.2 metres wide.
The allotment has been created on old grazing land where the soil is mainly clay, so doesn't drain well in winter and then shrinks and cracks in summer. Clay does retain nutrients well so with some work it can become great.
I take an honest and pragmatic view on the successes and failures of the crop that I am trying to grow.

The plot is looking good Ian and the abundance of plants in the greenhouse is amazing, I am growing Dahlias from seeds, any tips on doing them from cuttings, much appreciated and happy gardening. Sam

Thanks Sam, appreciate the comments on the plot. I guess the first question is this. Are you growing named varieties of Dahlias that you want to propagate? If you have named varieties then cuttings are always the way to go rather than from seed. Growing from seed you will get a real mixed range. To learn how to take cuttings then the easiest way is to probably look up my video on the subject and just copy how I do it. You will need perlite and hormone rooting compound. Hope this helps but if you want more help, and have instagram, than look me up on that and send me a message or pictures on the specifics. All the best 🌸🌻

Love the strawberry tower Ian. How did you make that, was it a kit form one?

Hi The planters are sold separately so you just get as many as you want. They are available in 2 different sizes and these are the largest size. They are sold in garden centres under the Town and country brand. They are really stable too. Hopefully we will get some fruits this year 🤞
