Thanks Bill

Welcome back once again to Reads Allotment Retreat. As today's title says, thanks due to Bill again for letting me use his Mantis Tiller. As you can see in the picture, our second spud bed is now ready for planting. Despite the few days of hard rain, the Mantis coped admirably in chopping up the huge clumps of earth. It did struggle occasionally, but on the whole has saved us a whole heap of work. This bed is approx 14 metres long, and took only a couple of hours to work over. I'll definitely start saving now for one of my own, and maybe by the autumn I will have enough to get one!
I'm hoping to get the planting underway maybe tomorrow, or failing that, sometime next week. As always, we'll keep you posted.


Take care all,

TTFN
