There was a break in the weather today so it was time to overcome the problem with pavers widths by taking out the edge of the path.The most rewarding part came next when I managed to lay out a good section of the paved area. I can’t tell you the number of times that I said Darn I’ve broken it. Levelling is always a challenge especially to achieve a gradient but I progress reasonably well. Rain stops play on the first day and `I just remember in time that Mrs K needs some sprouts and potatoes, this is my first successful stem of sprouts and I was pretty proud of them.The next time I am on the plot I am greeted by a hard frost as temperatures plummet. The gradient grows and finally I get a path established along the side of the plot, this is going to make a huge difference to prevent weeds from growing into the growing area. No dig! I don’t think so, I end up shifting a large volume of soil to get the gradient to play out.
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

Gorgeous sprouts! Well done! 😄
Looks fantastic!
Good amount of work booked in there today, videos are great love catching up on all your work gives us lots of ideas thank you very much
I think you've done flipping marvelous. Well done 👍😊
Keeping yourself busy. Made such a difference with the pavers Down coming along really nicely
If only we could all lay slabs at fast forward speed!
Oh it's looking so good, can't wait to the full tour of your plot once it's all completed x
Great job. Less mowing 😁… you will enjoy the smoothness later on… the wheelbarrow will glide on those pavers.
YouTube’s hardest working gardener. I imagine that the are looking forwards to finally finning this job so you can have a bit of a rest, you’ve certainly earned one. It’s looking very good and the effort will be worth it come next growing season. Just don’t push yourself too hard.
Wow Malcolm, the plot is looking fantastic after all your hard work. The new layout is going to be so much more efficient, I think. I wish my sprouts were half as good as yours! 🙂
Still need to put washers on the screws in the corregated at compost mate, not being a pest just dont want to see it ruined after the hard work you have put in recently🙏
I just burst out laughing every time that rooster 🐔 crows he is a camera hog. You certainly work hard and those sprouts look fantastic 👍👍. Have a great week 🐝 safe
I always find your videos so calming to watch…you have done a grest job with the revamp of your allotment 🙂👍
Good job Malc! Wish I could work at that speed! The days are getting shorter and colder…maybe wetter too.
Loving watching you do the plot Malcolm.Very inspiring !
Those sprouts i am full of envy, i must keep practicing but not this year. Ive ordered some raised beds from Birdies here in Aus in the hope i might have success with some vegies ive struggled with using pots. Absolutely wonderful. You had a hard days work before the rain came on its looking great as did the sun the next day. Your life will certainly be easier for all the hard work.
Well done with your efforts Malcolm, including a few changes to how you film. It has given it a fresh feel again 👍
Tell you what Malc that is one hell of a job that you have done there, i bet you were sore in the morning you have to go easy a bit don't forget that neck of yours, also where are going to get more pavers from?
i spotted some on your camera moves but then in the next clip they were gone?
Take Care and Stay Safe,
Barry (Wirral)
Great job Malc looking good and lovely sprouts too 😀👍
Good job today a lot of bending also hope your back and neck would be okay but you could work love the video
Great looking sprouts wish you could shut that cockeral up
That walkway looks wonderful!
Brilliant work Malcolm 👍
Wow! Great progress, Malc! Looks good!👍
As always I'm amazed at how much work you get through. There must be something in the water where you live
You are making great progress! I wish I had half your energy…. and strength to shift those pavers! Well done.
Good job, well done
Wow sterling effort Malc I've said it before "don't know where you get the stamina from" you have really inspired me to do more in mine . Thank you again for you videos ..
Great job on the path ,well done
❤well done looking good x
It is nice to see a diligent perfectionist at work, your plot is looking good as are your beautiful sprouts.
Well done Malcolm coming along nicely
Ha ha ! I'm here humming and arring about doing a little bit on the roof, and have been now for over a week 🙂 It's raining, it's winding etc etc
I'm jealous at how much energy you have. I did some stone work in the garden last week and still hurting. Very nice looking path 👌
Not perfect 🤣😂🤣😂looks pretty perfect to me! Well done Malcolm I’m amazed how much you got done in one go!
Looking good and guess what I've been doing on my plot you guessed it you can see on my channel 👍
It looks pretty prefect to me Malcolm, what a fantastic path you have now. I need something like that through my top part of the garden to the veg growing area especially in the winter on heavy clay. I have a stepping stone type path through the lawn and they are getting super slippy at the moment due to leaves and mud. A proper path like yours would help for sure. It is looking so good. Making "hay" (or a path) while the sun shines. Nothing like a bit of late Autumn sun to lift the spirits and improve motivation for sure. 👍😎
Fabulous job!
LOL, you are the King of (Not) No Dig! Hopefully, one day you will have nothing left to dig!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 well done young man take care
Amazing job, looking great.
