Dug a 6 foot wide bed that was 40 feet long. OK, it wasn't all today, I did a bit of it last week-end. It is now sown with red clover as a weed cover and nitrogen fixer, all to be rotovated in some time in April.
I'm knackered.
If I am to restore the veg patch to its former glory (currently it is effectively a bramble patch), then I have to dig 7 more of those beds. The next bed will be too late for clover before winter, so I'll dig it, then rotovate in a tonne of horse poop.
I might give in and hit the paths with grazon - or maybe repeated flymoing will do the job.
Harvested a load of marrows and sweet corn from the bit of the patch that was still cultivated. Harvested a load of apples.
Fixed the cutter deck on the lawn mower: if someone from Countax is reading this: "I would like to shove the blade belt engagement mechanism up your arse". A more awful piece of engineering is hard to imagine. Anyway, with new bearings, it cuts perfectly. Now I have to weld up the grass collector so that it sits at the right angle.
I also pulled the rear tub off the Series III as it failed the MOT - more welding. This is a vital piece of kit because I can then get the sankey trailer out and fill that with weeds, rather than taking the poxy wheelbarrow to the heap every 10 minutes.
