No dig allotmenting, well only a little

This morning me and Zub dug out some heavy weight bramble roots, covered the area with cardboard, placed a 4ft by 8ft bed ontop (made with scaffolding boards). Then covered the cardboard with horse manure (4 wheel barrows), then many layers of newspaper and then topped with leaves.

Next steps include.
1. Start up plug plants at home
2. 18 day compost next week at allotment
