The Plot Thickens - No-Dig, Allotment Living17 Okt 2023

Full Of Beans

It's finally a typical autumn day in the UK, it's cloudy and windy on the plot so Karin and Vicky are tucked inside the shed today. But, being the intrepid gardeners they are, they're all set to burst forth onto their allotment as soon as the recording wraps up. Vicky's super excited to share her plans to plant her flowering bulbs, onions, and garlic ready for the winter, Karin sneeks a peek inside her daughter's second-hand wormery and their excitement bubbles over as they contemplate the limitless potential for establishing an eco-friendly garden at their daughters' primary school. If you want to share your musings on the peculiarities of your plot life, or feel inclined to provide your own little insights into the world of horticulture, or just want to say hello, we'd be delighted to hear from you at tptpod@gmail.com NB. Vicky was mistaken in the podcast when she talked about the school sustainability leads and action plans! The strategy states: “By 2025, all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan”. And from December 2023, «…we will begin to roll out a free programme of support » Big thanks to Alex Kizenkov for our intro and outro tunes.
