Spent an hour at the lottie on Saturday checking the new willow bed and starting to tackle the weeds which are already covering the bare areas, thanks to the recent mild weather. Temperatures of 20c on a couple of days, for March, crazy.
Thanks to a couple of days of good rain, the mini beds I prepared which were large clumps of soil have now started to break down and I managed to turnover one so it will be ready to plant after a bit more of the wet stuff. The other bed leaves a bit to be desired, despite being next to the other one, the soil conditions are completely different, clunky hard lumps of clay and plenty of weed roots to boot. This one needs loads more rain before it can be worked.
Have spread the clumps out a bit more and hoping for more rain soon to help out.
