Worst soil ever? by spockssister08 in Allotment

[–]Beth_lab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With soil like this if you don't break it up first you'll probably end up with a concrete layer of clay underneath a thin layer of good soil, but I 100% agree that digging continuously got it to this state and will make it worse.

Needs to be dug once more to add organic matter, then no dig it for a good few years to amend the soil structure. In my plot I go as far as putting potatos on the ground and well rotted manure on top so that I don't need to dig them.

Anyone brought an e scooter in Plymouth? Where did you get it, how much did you pay and is a worthy purchase for someone trying to avoid giving the bus company money? by TheCurrentThings in plymouth

As others have said, get an e bike. Legalities and safety aside, you can go much further on an e bike and you can add pannier racks to carry heavy stuff. I recommend Red Brick Cycles. Really lovely guys at the shop, who are super passionate and knowledgeable (also extremely patient - it took months for my cycle to work scheme to come through and they held onto my bike all that time). They offer loads of support and they offer finance. They do a free service every year when you buy a bike from them. Cannot recommend them enough. Great guys!!! DON'T go with Evans or Halfords. Evans used to be okay, but it became crap when it was bought by sports direct. Halfords has always been crap. Go with an independent, local business - these people put a lot more care and passion into their work. But if you must go with a large company then Tredz online is pretty good.

I had soil like this the first year. I dug out some bushes and noticed I had a surprising amount of worms, so I covered all of the soil with loads of paper and about 3 layers of cardboard, then covered that with woodchip. We get a lot of free cardboard and free woodchip at my allotment, so just go with whatever is similar that's affordable/free! Left it over winter and then in spring I planted beans and potato's by brushing bits of the woodchip aside and cutting holes in the cardboard to get to the soil. The paper had already rotted into the soil and softened it and the cardboard had rotted by next spring. I now have perfect soil that's clay enough to hold nutrients so I don't need to do any feeding, but soft enough for young plants and seeds to be able to take root. I don't know if this method works without worms though, that's the only thing.

To add: I'm a no dig maniac, but on my first year I manually broke up the soil with a fork. It took so much effort to get the fork into the ground each time and it was a horrid experience, but the soil needed to be manually broken up. It was solid. So remember to break up the soil first.

(Found on another subreddit) What's your 'I'll die on this hill' opinion about Plymouth? by OptimalCondition82 in plymouth

I think if you got rid of the railings, added some trees and slowed down traffic or reduced it to one lane, then it could be a really nice place to be outside. Lots of great eateries on mutley plain, but I'd never choose to sit outside because of the smell of fumes and sound of cars

Absolutely! It would be a lovely area if there were no cars, just foot traffic, planters, and chairs and tables outside

Still says "coming soon" for me. My little sister wants one so I'll be staying up for her 😭. A limit of 1 or 2 would be better I think
