Operation allotment shed

The allotment shed was developing quite a precarious relationship with its base. Sitting at the top of a slope like ours we would arrive at the allotment after each winter storm fully expecting to see the shed in pieces halfway down the plot.


Somehow it's survived and so one of the jobs T and I tackled during our week off was to redo the base it sits on. Using a wooden frame made from the old (but still good) shed supports, 2x2ft concrete slabs taken out of our front garden, and bricks found on the plot we managed to create a new paved base for free.


The shed took a battering during the process, but it's tougher than it looks. Fixing her up is the next thing on our allotment to do list. For now though we're all set to go back to planting, eating, and G&T's by the shed.



T also finished off the compost bins. A-mazing! I've taken lots of pictures so expect a "how-to" post at some point.


PS Excuse the photo quality - only had the phone with me when I went to water this evening and the light was fading.
