The Plot Thickens - No-Dig, Allotment Living5 Sep 2023

Beginnings

Today, we're brewing up something special for you as we embark on this exciting journey into the world of gardening, community, and all things green. Grab your favorite mug, pour yourself a steaming cup of coffee, and settle in as we take you on a delightful exploration of our shared passion – allotment gardening. In this episode, we'll transport you back to where it all began, right here in Karin's shed on her plot, where we planted the seeds for this podcast!

In this ep, we share stories about plot waiting lists, choosing a plot, tackling overgrown spaces, and where to start if you're a newbie. Plus, we'll touch on the fascinating world of no dig, compost and mulch. And just so you know, dear listeners, we're learning as we go - no experts here! So, whether you're a seasoned gardener or just beginning your green journey, join us as "The Plot Thickens!"
