Phil got hold of a second hand rotovator for about the same price as hiring one from a popular building supplies firm in Ashbourne. So after a bit of a practice we got to rotovating the plot.
On 14th January 2023 we were offered a free plot on someone's land who could no longer garden on it. So we went and had a look and as we had had a crappy year with our old allotments we thought we'd go for it.
