I really didn’t plan to work on the plot today but the weather was unusually warm and dry so it would have been a shame not to have taken advantage of it. In the end I was flat out creating a paved area above the compost bins. The path that is there currently is less than even so a fair amount of time was spent getting things as level as I could. This is never ideal on open ground and really needs sand and cement but I steer away from those permanent solutions.All the materials at hand so onward.There is plenty to do on the plot but its more construction today.Things don’t work out perfectly with the path not being three full pavers wide…..
UK Allotments are the ideal place to learn how to grow fruit and vegetables. My allotment is a no dig allotment and I share how to grow vegetables and how to prepare a no dig garden. If you are growing in a backyard garden or homestead and you want some tips on how to grow vegetables I hope my channel has something to offer. Allotment ideas are always worth sharing and I am happy to share my gardening ideas and failures so that we can all learn to grow vegetables together. I also learn on the allotment nearly every time I am there and learning how to grow in a Polytunnel or greenhouse can be a fun an exciting experience too. If you are one of the many allotment beginners or thousands of people growing in your garden for the first time then join me growing on Allotments For Fun and food and get some allotment ideas

Hi Malcolm watching you use your oscillating hoe and you keep say how good it is l bought one I got to say it a game changer removing weeds no problem. Good times 😀
Good times 👍
Always work with the weather and never against it Malcolm, I think the more you get done now will make it easier to add or modify things before the growing season is all go.
You make it look so easy🤣
I get muscle fatigue in one arm too….😁all the best big man from Scotland
Could U work on your sound track please.I have to constanly adiust sound.When U talk its very quiet than music is very loud.It would make big diffrence ,Im sure Im not the only one spoted it.Not trying to be nasty or someting like that,I love your channel and thanks for motivation.
Howdy Malc! 👋 You certainly made great use of that beautiful day. The pathway is looking good!👍 In the future you might be pleasantly happy you made that pathway wider…the wider width is going to come in handy for sure. 😃
Have a great week…see ya Wednesday.👋
Looking great Malcolm.
Great work
Great job Malcolm when you finish digging the edge have a look at the paver step adjacent is that a big empty space under half the step down paver from above the compost area? Might need to fix so doesnt give when walking on.
Malcolm, what a difference your path makes! Looks amazing!
Loving the path malc. Maybe if you have the half ones left over you can stand on their edge. To help prevent the soil break down from above.
Love your construction projects. All part of the allotment life. Thanks for sharing
You made a highway for the wheelbarrow! even good room for a U-turn on it ↪🔄↩
Great job Malcolm. I was curious, do you produce a rough sketch of the plat layout and what you will be sowing next year, where and why?
That's a great pathway redo.
Your allotment minimizing is really coming along.
Blimey these ground works are serious business.
great work Malc
Make hay while the sun shines …
Spot of light exercise to boot ..
Another informative video malc thank you
that is definitely going to be a busy traffic area on the reorganized plot. You really are setting it up lor longevity too! Looks great! do you plan to use the half slabs to support the bank above?
Malcolm,great job.
I just love your motivation you always do something a little different to what I have to do I have a 4 inch pipe in my garden and I have to keep stepping over it so I'm going move some soil from under a raised bed and level it out just grade it off, you just give me that idea from the way you dig away that soil, love your vlogs.
Nice job sir, you should have kraftwerks man machine as your theme tune.
Wow not sure if you planed this giving up part of you plot and planning all in one go but wow it looks good, I know you had Ideas in your head.
Love the progress! Great work, Malc.

Hiya Malc another great piece of pathwork it's gonna look great when everything is done on the plot.

Stay Safe,
