Strawberry Bed

• Start on the strawberry bed concept - start fastening down runners in August! Needs pots and a bit of wire to fasten em down with.  - after a month chop off the runners and put em in Cold Frame. Done half way through July! 

Strawberries - needs work - what they do commercially is grow them off the ground in like a gutter - might see if I can do something like that to get em out of the way of ruddy slugs. 

• Use metre squared from home as base - possibly use black fleece to stop weeds?
• Use some of compost that's been in it and dig in a load of manure.

Water Collection

• Get breeze blocks and 18 x 18 garden slabs for water butts sorted out
• Get overflow sorted from one that on left to one that's on the right.
• Get something to put watering can on so you can leave it filling up
• Take the guttering off and possibly pull the pipe out of the IBC and put the seal straight onto the pipe before re-inserting.
• Get an overflow sorted for the IBC
• Get the two barrels sorted out for Shed 7
• Get a chisel on that bit of breeze block that's sticking out before Summer 2016!!

Shed

• Does it need a bit of a paint?
• Fasten down the shed with chicken wire possibly? Could certainly use the been poles when we're finished as will be using canes next year, probably
• Put canes inside of Shed 7!!

Tidying up

• Take the four big posts off the site. 
• Take mini-greenhouse back home.  NO - leave it in free stuff

Netting

• The 99p shop netting is apparently 6m x 1.5m - can they be connected lengthways I wonder to make 6m x 3m big nets for the brassicas??

Path

• Use 450x450 mini slabs for pathway
