The Plot Thickens - No-Dig, Allotment Living19 Sep 2023

There's an egg on your plot.

As per the tradition on The Plot Thickens, the coffee pot is bubbling away, and today the duo Karin and Vicky embark on a tour of Karin's allotment. They explore the flourishing crops, from the tiny, fuzzy chickpea pods to three plump pumpkins. And there's an unexpected surprise hiding beneath the soil, waiting to be uncovered.

Karin harbours dreams of expanding to a second plot and soaring to the pinnacle of the allotment waiting list. Her vision includes a unique hugelkultur circle, a mound of compost-rich soil where her veggies can thrive together like a happy, hugging family!

Meanwhile, at "The Plot Thickens" headquarters, Karin and Vicky are knee-deep in a discussion about amping up their sound quality. They're currently on the hunt for top-notch microphones suitable for recording outdoors. If you've got any recommendations, folks, they're all ears - email us at tptpod@gmail.com

Thanks again to Alex Kizenkov for the intro and outro music on the pod.
