First Day Clearing My Allotment Garden AND I Still Need Your Help! | Lucy Bloom 

Welcome to our Blooming Lottie 😊

Hi Lucy ,with the plot,just measure out a 2m2 part and start digging and do a little bit at a time,that was me a year ago and now I’m in control a bit😂😂my plot is at pollok park and I just do a little at a time,the biggest motivation is looking at the seed catalogs

Turn your back on the plot and dig it this way you only see what you have done not what you have to do. psychologically it will really help you when getting the weeds out. Great start to the plant and it's always nice to see new gardeners filming their experience for others. Subbed

so excited for this series

Go to the council or site owners about knot weed it is reportable to environment agency and they legally have to get rid of it

Cool, I can't wait to see the progress of your allotment and good luck Lucy :)

I hope you will make a beautiful garden there 🌱💐🌹🌸

Just subscribed great video

Once you got the top layer foliage off use a mattock to take the surface layer off. Get down to the dirt and then dig with a fork taking all the weed u can. Only thing u can do bar pay someone to kill it.

You are doing the right thing, breaking the work down into portions a bit at a time; that's how I cleared my allotment which was overgrown when I took it on 17 years ago. The worst thing is if you have perennial weeds such as couch grass which you have to get every last bit of root out . Japanese Knotweed (or 'Romping Mary') as it used to be called around here in the Manchester area is still around my area; it was in an embankment of Edwardian back gardens which were accessed vis steps up the 'banking' as we used to call it; this was back in the late 60's/early 70's and my Dad never managed to get rid of it; I've heard the roots go down up to 17 feet. Other than paying a fortune to get it injected, I don't know of anyway of getting rid of it unfortunately. Once most of the weeds are cleared, I would suggest getting some well rotted horse manure and spreading it over the plot for the worms to take down over the winter and it will give the soil a good boost. The best piece of advice I can give you to get good crops is to feed your soil every year with manure and also bagged fertilisers where needed and also comfrey liquid feed. Best of luck anyway.

Congrats on getting, and starting, your plot. Name? What about 'Bloom n Tales', or maybe 'The Gardens Bloom'. I mean your name is just perfect for this subject.🌻

don't dig your plot, make you're borders, take out the annual weeds, cover with cardboard and then dung if you have some there or the cheapest compost you can find, you will grow as many crops not digging as you will digging, iv'e had mine for 8 years now you cant beat having fresh veg, good luck. Oh and sort out a patch now and get some garlic planted ASAP.

Come on, sis, upload more videos so that your channel is quickly monetized
