*AD: This post is part of a paid partnership with Bosch Home & Garden.<\/em><\/p>\n

Back in July, we took on an allotment plot after putting our names down on a waiting list last year. I shared a little look around our new allotment<\/a> soon after, although admittedly, it just looked like one crazy overgrown mess! A few months on, we\u2019re now clearing the space out and preparing our new allotment plot for winter, so of course, I thought I\u2019d share our progress with you.<\/p>\n

Over the summer months, we didn\u2019t do much to the plot, although we did clear out two beds and sowed some lettuce and carrot seed. Surprisingly, we successfully managed to grow both(!), although admittedly, the carrots were a little on the small side.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Other than that very small harvest, we\u2019ve done nothing else to our plot. Although, I actually think this was probably for the best as it\u2019s given us more time to think about the space and we\u2019ve actually changed some of our existing plans, like keeping the original raised beds.<\/p>\n

As the weather\u2019s become colder, we thought we would prepare the soil and general area for the frosty winter\u2019s months, especially when we really wanted to make sure that we could make the most out of the allotment next year! This is where the Bosch 18V range really helped in getting everything ready as we needed a good range of cordless tools!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u2019ll share more of our plans towards the end of this post, but here\u2019s a little run-down of everything we\u2019ve done over the last month to get this allotment ready for winter! Although this post relates to a disused overgrown and abandoned plot, I think these steps will become the basis of the winter prep we\u2019ll do yearly.<\/p>\n

Clearing and De-weeding The Allotment<\/h3>\n

If it wasn\u2019t already painfully obvious, the first thing we needed to do, was de-weed and clear out our new allotment plot. As our plot is fairly sizeable, this actually took A LOT of work.<\/p>\n

\n
\"unkept<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We pulled out most of the longer weeds by hand and piled them up in a corner of the plot, where they\u2019ll eventually be transferred into the compost bin.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Deweeding<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

For tougher weeds or shorter weeds which weren\u2019t as easy to remove by hand, we used a hoe to dislodge them. This is one of the original tools we found in our garden when we first moved 6 years ago. Finally coming in handy!!<\/p>\n

\n
\"man<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

This job in itself probably took a good few afternoons of work and some serious backache! We had a mass of nettles to contend with (I left that job for Grant \u2013 lucky him eh?!) and a crazy amount of rhubarb, which had roots the size of an elephants trunk!<\/p>\n

\n
\"removing<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"digging<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Trim Back Borders and Pathways<\/h3>\n

At the sides of our allotment (and also the back), we have grass pathways, which are communal paths to allow for access for the other surrounding allotment plots.<\/p>\n

These paths are jointly maintained, although as you can see \u2013 we\u2019ve been letting the team down with our overgrown edges!<\/p>\n

\n
\"overgrown<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

This is something we\u2019ll need to keep on-top of moving forward, but it\u2019s also definitely a job that needs to be done before going into winter and leaving the plot for the next few months.<\/p>\n

Bosch very kindly sent us an ART 23-18 LI cordless grass trimmer<\/a> to use for this job, which made very quick work of it! The trimmer is really very lightweight and also quite compact for storage, which I was really pleased about, considering our garden shed is rather small!<\/p>\n

At the same time though, the cordless grass trimmer also extends to fit your perfect height, so there\u2019s no bending over when in use.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Bosch<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"Bosch<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"bosch<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The trimmer is battery operated, making it PERFECT for use away from the house in an allotment like this \u2013 The POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE<\/a> is one of the largest cross brand 18V battery systems of leading manufacturers worldwide and allows you to interchange batteries from a range of product from a number of different brands. No cable. No limits. You can take the 18 V battery from your vacuum cleaner and have it power all of your gardening tools on the allotment! Save money, save space and protect the environment!  <\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019d never used a trimmer before but were really impressed with how easy it was to use. Being lightweight meant we never got arm strain and our plot neighbour even commented on how quiet it was compared to his petrol trimmer. A full battery lasted around 30minutes, which was more than enough time for tidying up these edges.<\/p>\n

Removing and Repairing Rotten Beds<\/h3>\n

Initially, we\u2019d planned to reuse the wooden beds we\u2019d inherited with the plot and just replace those that were desperately rotten. However, after some of our wooden beds went missing (presumably someone thought the plot was abandoned and helped themselves), we decided that actually, we may as well replace the whole lot.<\/p>\n

We figured it would probably be less work in the long-run this way, although we won\u2019t actually be building new beds until next year.<\/p>\n

\n
\"clearing<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Removing the old beds was really easy to do using the Bosch AdvancedRecip 18<\/a><\/a> Reciprocating Saw which we\u2019d also been sent to try. This was another one of the tools compatible within the Bosch POWER FOR ALL range that meant we could quickly interchange the battery that we\u2019d been using for other tools on the project. <\/p>\n

\n
\"bosch<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The Bosch AdvancedRecip18<\/a> itself is really useful for all kinds of demolition work and can be used on a range of materials from wood to plastic to metal and you could even use on branches if you have any trees\/bushes too!<\/p>\n

Instead of having to unscrew the wooden beds, one screw at a time, we simply just chopped straight through those screws with the saw, leaving tidy clean cuts and no sharp screw ends to accidentally stand on.<\/p>\n

The saw went through all the materials we cut really quickly, so much that this whole job took just minutes!<\/p>\n

\n
\"bosch<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Whilst we were ripping apart the raised beds, we also decided to remove the old broken poly-tunnel too. Again, Grant just cut the poles apart, using the same saw and same blade. It saved us having to manually dismantle the frame and actually, I think some of the poles now cut down to a more manageable size could come in handy around the plot next year!<\/p>\n

\n
\"bosch<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Whilst we had the tools out and to hand, we also repaired the compost bin, which was looking a tad wonky, using a Bosch Uneo Maxx<\/a>Cordless drill. We removed the compost inside the bin to do this (more on that in a bit!) and simply re-enforced the bin with a piece of wood across the top. Hopefully, this will keep it secure until next year when we plan to move and re-build it entirely!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Removing Excess Rubbish<\/h3>\n

Speaking of rotten beds and other rubbish, our allotment plot was covered in it! Amongst the weeds, you\u2019d find plastic bottles, old carpet, broken tubs, food packaging, old gloves, you name it. It was an absolute MESS.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re cleating out a new (abandoned) allotment plot or not, it\u2019s always a good idea to remove excess waste before winter. We probably did around 3\/4 skip runs in total \u2013 mostly getting rid of old carpet! Our poor car.<\/p>\n

\n
\"broken<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Emptying or Turning the Compost Heap!<\/h3>\n

We were really fortunate to inherit a compost bin along with our plot and a pretty sizeable one at that! We\u2019d planned to simply turn the compost heap to aerate it, however, we quickly realised the compost pile was actually ready for use.<\/p>\n

According to a neighbour, the bin hadn\u2019t been emptied in about FOUR years! We had enough compost to cover the whole plot with around a 2-4cm layer, which felt like A LOT of compost. Poor old Grant was shovelling for hours! I had great fun trying to get the artiest snaps of him flinging mud across the air though. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\n
\"emptying<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"shovelling<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"large<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

As we added the compost, we also tried to level the ground out using a rake, filling in any dips and low points as we went. It\u2019s obviously not perfect, but a whole lot better than it was!<\/p>\n

\n
\"levelling<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Once we\u2019d removed the compost from the bin, we could turn in all the new waste we\u2019d collected from pulling out weeds. The bin very quickly soon filled back up and hopefully in a year or so we\u2019ll have some new compost from it!<\/p>\n

\n
\"filling<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"two<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Adding Manure<\/h3>\n

As well as adding compost to the ground, we had also planned to add some manure as well.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the farmer who delivers the manure said it would be a six-week wait, as he was so busy right now. Given it would be December by this point, we decided to leave adding manure this time around.<\/p>\n

Of course, we could have bought bagged manure from a shop, but it would have cost considerably more. We at least know for next year that we need to put our order in earlier!<\/p>\n

Covering The Ground with Heavy-Duty Landscaping Fabric<\/h3>\n

Slowly but surely our plot went from being an overgrown weedy mess to being cleared, levelled and with fresh compost added. We could finally see the area in which we were dealing with!<\/p>\n

\n
\"large<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I know, it looks HUGE and I guess, it is. In total, it measures around 9m by 15m making it bigger than our garden, which is just crazy.<\/p>\n

To save ourselves backache and having to re-clear weeds again in a few months, we\u2019ve covered the plot in heavy-duty landscaping fabric<\/a>. This is the same stuff we\u2019ve used underneath gravel<\/a> and our DIY scaffold decking<\/a>, which you\u2019ve probably seen me bang on about time and time again.<\/p>\n

\n
\"covering<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"covering<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The difference between heavy-duty fabric and the basic cheaper fabric is that it won\u2019t tear. Unlike sheet plastic, it\u2019s permeable and will let water through, meaning you won\u2019t end up creating a mini bog too! It\u2019s not the cheapest to buy and we spent around \u00a350 on fabric for a plot this size \u2013 but we can re-use the fabric year after year, so we felt it was an investment worth making.<\/p>\n

To lay the landscaping fabric down, we used galvanised garden pegs<\/a> every 30cm or so, to keep it from blowing off in harsh winds.<\/p>\n

\n
\"galvanised<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Of course, if we had raised beds on our plot we would only need to cover those, not the entire area like this! I know some people prefer to use carpet or cardboard to do this, but having seen how the existing carpet faired on our plot, we weren\u2019t so keen on that. And we also felt cardboard would just be a mess to remove next year.<\/p>\n

We can, however, re-use some of this fabric next year when we make little paths in-between the beds, so it will certainly come in use again.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s it! Our plot is now clear and ready for winter! Bit of an improvement from the before shot, huh?<\/p>\n

\n
\"landscaping<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

There are a couple of other jobs to complete, like trimming back the asparagus and berry bushes, however, they\u2019re not quite ready for trimming yet, so that\u2019ll be something we\u2019ll pop back and do in the next month or so!<\/p>\n

Our Allotment Plans for Next Year<\/h2>\n

I am SO excited for next year and the next growing season. We have a whole list of vegetables we want to grow and we\u2019re planning to create an entirely new layout as well. I won\u2019t get into too much detail at this stage because you never know \u2013 we may change our minds!<\/p>\n

BUT to give you a little idea of our current rough plans here\u2019s a little peek:<\/p>\n

\n
\"allotment<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"allotment<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We\u2019re complete newbies to growing our own fruit\/veg, so I\u2019m sure we won\u2019t be 100% successful at growing everything, but as long as we\u2019re learning on the way, then it\u2019ll be worth it!<\/p>\n

I hope this post was useful if you\u2019ve taken on a new allotment and have no clue where to begin \u2013 we totally feel you! I\u2019ll be sharing more allotment content next year, or you can always follow me on Instagram for real-time updates too!<\/p>\n

Until then, I think I\u2019ll be resting this poor back \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
