Preparing for the Shed.

Today's task was to sort out the long talked about shed. On the way to the allotment, I stopped off at the gate (Sheffield Sheds) to order a 6x4 pent shed, with a spruce green treatment.

I brought some 2x2 ft slabs last week, and some sand, and had left it on the plot. Now it was time to lay the slabs as the shed base.

Taking off the surface to level the area I realised that the bind weed was worse here than anywhere. I dug out an area much bigger than needed, down to 12 inches and removed roots , then buried a membrane under more soil, then sand, then the slabs. Three hours later, the shed base is complete.





I also removed the last of the black plastic: Is has been very effective in keeping the weeds down.
