I had this idea that I would double dig the final part of my allotment over the winter but it seems the weather and family commitment have conspired to keep me away from my spade and manure heap. As I type is there snow showers in the air so I can not dig today and spring will be on us soon. So I have decided that instead of double digging the final part of my plot before the poatoes go in I shall dig out the worst of the weeds from around the edge of the plot. When that is done and I come to dig the trenches for the spuds I shall line the trench with lot of manure. They will not mind and by the time I have ridged them up a couple if times and harverted the bounty the area will have been comprensively turned over.
It sounds like a great plan. Now if it would just stop snowing.
