Folderol,Good luck with your new allotment, I hope it goes well. It is brilliant that you are getting such good help.I just have one suggestion, that rotovation can make things harder for you in the long run. Our allotment site was extended last year onto land that had been used for ponies. The Parish Council had the land rotovated before handing it over and the people taking on the allotments had a huge job trying to remove all the cut up pieces of couch grass root that had sprouted. In fact a couple gave up completely. Rather than having it rotovated before the plotholders start would it be better to let each one decide if rotovation is the way for them. It was so sad seeing people give up because of the couch grass. The turf can be cut, lifted and stacked, then covered in black plastic and will have rotted down in a couple of years. Another way is to use lifted turfs as the edge for raised beds, they rot down eventually that way too.Or a small part of the plot rotovated at a time to be able to deal with all the small pieces of root, and the rest covered in black plastic.I wish you well, having an allotment is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I know a lot of people on here would say the same, hope it all works out for you and your group, you will find lots of help on here.T.
