The Plot Thickens - No-Dig, Allotment Living3 Okt 2023

The Raw Edit.

The sun shines once again at Sandridge Road Allotments as Karin get to grips with her new headset and the pair try to improve the sound quality! They reflect on their week on the plot, planting in the gooseberries, popping along to Festival of Permaculture with You Tube's Huw Richards, and Vicky gets a little political talking about Chris Packham's Environmental Protest. September is proving to be a flurry of activity on the plots, chopping and dropping, prepping the beds, pruning and planting the fruit trees and generally loving life at the allotment as we move into autumn. You might want to check out some of things we chat about: Becky Searle at Sow Much More on Instagram and her podcast with Richard Chivers, The Seed Pod, interviewing Professor Dave Goulson Huw Richards' You Tube Channel for Permaculture inspired, no dig, kitchen gardening Braiding Sweet Grass by Robin Wall Kimmerer As always, thanks to Alex Kizenkov for our intro and outro music.
