Join Richard in this weeks podcast which is a little different this week. Richard has caught covid and unable to leave the house to tend to his allotment which with the heatwave currently hitting the UK is possibly a good thing as minimal work necessary is the motto while dealing with this heat.
8 mistakes I made with my allotment.
With that in mind it has given Richard the chance to reflect on his 7 years on his current allotment and think about what mistakes he has made. Now mistakes for Richard is not a negative thing, its a chance to lean so reflecting on this it has given Richard the chance to think about improvements for the future. The 8 mistakes are as follows
- Didn't inspect he plot before taking it on
- Rushed to get lots of plants planted before really preparing the ground
- Keeping hold of unknown plants already on the plot
- Making paths too small
- Accumulating/ hoarding too much junk
- Only spending time at the weekend on the plot
- Not putting up labels
- Not sitting down to enjoy the allotment
