Went to the allotment for a couple of hours by myself. Hauled some partially rotted wood chip to the plot from a pile on site, moved a huge defunct water storage barrel to the back of the plot, shifted some cut bramble and rose branches to the back of the plot (on top of growing brambles), adjusted some black plastic on the plot, chopped some woody bits into a long-term compost bin. Found the snow had broken the roof netting on the fruit cage so disentangled it from the plants and tried to temporarily secure it until I can get back to repair it. Spread some compost in a bed. Trying to get things much tidier and start using every possible thing for compost as I want to convert to no dig finally but lack the appropriate levels of compost. Came home and requested manure/muck on a FB group for just such things. Tried to request wood chip through a site but it requires an address and access on almost no notice and I don't have those things for the allotment. Next to bother local places for coffee grounds and continue considering the purchase of a Bokashi set up. Whew.
