Yep , oh once you have the plot all dug it is easier , and then when you have the manure put on and dug in . And then once you have the weeding done lol.
The clearing is hard work , but well worth it  .

good stuff, now you just need to dig in 5ton of manure!! enjoy, veg growing is very satisfying, despite the weather. remember to keep a diary for the first few years to get to know which varieties are good 'doers' for your area.

chicken poo is a great fertiliser, but high in nitrogen. if you can get some horse manure in straw rather than sawdust it is really good for holding water and making a lighter loam, its really worth doing first as you start your beds, it helps with digging again next winter.

If not and you have a trailer, head over to Telford.  I have more goat manure than I know what to do with.
