There is nothing better than perfectly placed wooden benches<\/a> to admire your allotment.\u00a0 You will also need a place to rest, as cultivating a piece of land can be challenging.\u00a0 It also will complete the perfect picture of your sacks rammed with produce, from carrots through to potatoes, and the cup of tea shared with a neighbouring land-tiller.<\/p>\n

Depending on where you live, getting an allotment can take a while.\u00a0 Some areas having plenty of spaces ready for growing.\u00a0 However, some other places will have a significant waiting list.\u00a0 If you are allocated your allotment, it is unlikely that you will find your plot in perfect condition.\u00a0 As much as you would hope for a well-cared-for plot of land, you are more likely to get something that is wild and overgrown.\u00a0 Your first step will be to remove the old growth, treat the soil to some manure and get yourself some on-site storage.<\/p>\n

This beginning point will be hard work \u2013 but rewarding in the end.\u00a0 Here are seven steps to help cultivate allotments for beginners.<\/p>\n

\n

Step one: deal with debris<\/h2>\n

Clear the rubbish.\u00a0 You will likely find a lot of broken glass, netting, metals \u2013 basically, all the junk that has been tossed in by passers-by.\u00a0 They will see a derelict piece of land and not treat it with respect.\u00a0 Protect yourself here.\u00a0 You need sturdy shoes and some heavy-duty gloves to complete this part of the job.<\/p>\n

Step two: tackle the jungle<\/h2>\n

Your overgrown allotment will need attacking with loppers, a strimmer, some secateurs and a shredder.\u00a0 You will feel like you are doing a lot of destroying, as opposed to growing, at this point in your allotment journey.\u00a0 However, revealing the soil is an essential part of your trip.\u00a0 Again, you will need some decent gardening tools (this hoss wheel hoe from Easy Digging<\/a> can help immensely) as well as some protective gear. Generally, weeds come with spikes and stings.<\/p>\n

Your wilderness will have become home to some wildlife.\u00a0 You may find the odd hedgehog, frog and maybe even the occasional snake.\u00a0 Don\u2019t just ram through the area with a heavy-duty trimmer. Instead, go slow and relocate any wildlife that is in your way.\u00a0 A lot of the creatures will disappear when you start making noise \u2013 but is still worth being careful.<\/p>\n

Some perennial plants will need digging out at the roots.\u00a0 The previous owner may have planted strawberry runners or other fruit bushes, which can take hold quite quickly again.\u00a0 If you want to use some of these bushes, dig them out and store them in compost and replant when you are ready.<\/p>\n

\n

Step three: deal with the turf<\/h2>\n

Some sites may have completely grassed over.\u00a0 You would then do well to hire a turf cutter<\/a>, which will make this job significantly easier.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t want to go to this expense, make sure you have a sharp spade and a lot of energy.<\/p>\n

\n

Step four: So many stones<\/h2>\n

It might be tempting to get the soil to a base layer but then leave in those smaller weeds and rocks.\u00a0 Picking out these smaller debris can be time-consuming and dull.\u00a0 However, removing these items will make your job so much easier down the line.\u00a0 Your plants will grow better, as your soil is in better shape.\u00a0 You can always drag in some little people labour \u2013 and pay them by the stone.\u00a0 You can also collect the rocks together to help you later with a path or as drainage for the bottom of pots.<\/p>\n

\n

Step five: time to dig<\/h2>\n

It is possible to prepare your soil without digging.\u00a0 You can lay black polythene over your plot for a few months, denying the weeds of light and moisture.\u00a0 Then, you can add about 4cms of organic matter \u2013 and your land will be ready for planting. This no-dig gardening<\/a> is becoming something of a trend.\u00a0 If you get your plot in winter, it is also a realistic plan for the first few months of owning your allotment.<\/p>\n

If you do want to till the land \u2013 think about hiring a rotavator.\u00a0 This will turn over the soil much more successfully.\u00a0 Once the soil is turned over, you can start think about allotment layout ideas.<\/p>\n

\n

Step six: fertilise<\/h2>\n

Most soil would benefit from some added organic matter \u2013 whether it is chicken or horse manure.\u00a0 Conditioning your soil before planting makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

Step seven: water rigorously<\/h2>\n

You will need a water butt.\u00a0 This is a barrel that will collect rainwater and give you a ready supply for your garden.\u00a0 You will be lucky if there is any other kind of water supply at your allotment.<\/p>\n

If you are going to struggle to water regularly, you should be careful what you plant.\u00a0 Tomatoes, for instance, are shallow-rooted and need regular watering.\u00a0 You could always add mulch to your soil to help plants keep hydrated.\u00a0 A thick layer of bark chippings can also lock in moisture and will also work to repel weeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
