Hi all. New to allotment life and taking over an overgrown old plot. Any advice on how to get this from over grown to productive plot most welcome! It's on a sloped full sun but windy spot in Leeds. The right of the plot I think has Raspberries and some other fruit and an apple tree which is next to the other plots plum tree.

hello everyone. i do not get the idea of weed/weeding? i guess i never have fully... nature sees that different than humans or not? cause what is a weed and what not? how does nature take care of that? can someone please explain...🙏🏽

greetings everyone. i or we believe nature - wild and untouched - holds deep wisdom and we humans can learn so much from it; through reflection about our own nature and our relationship to others, 1:1, in a group, community, society etc. i draw parallels from it and apply it personally. so i have a few questions that i need help with and would like to ask the next days maybe in separate threads. but before that i share a playful question from another group and ask you: If you were part of a tree, which part would you want to be? let me know... blessings

Share your pictures, this is mostly microgreens but the shelves with lighting : mostly strip lights with a daylight halogen or led at 6500k lumens (daylight bulb) to mimic the sun and the red light is a full spectrum light which can even grow them to more maturing flowering stage. If you want tips on the best indoor set up, message me. But a simple sunny window is ideal. Main thing is the soils warm, they are out the wind and the sun / artificial light helps the, become strong and not leggy

Today is the first time in a month the land has been dry enough to walk on , and with all the rain the veg patch has grassed over. So I gave it a couple of cuts with the lawnmower, broad forked it and covered with a heavy tarpaulin, to maintain the moisture and help it warm up.
