    My only piece of advice is to get yourself one of these.....

    I got myself one earlier in the year and it is brilliant. If you are going to be digging it will help you do the job in a quarter of the time!
    I wish I had known about it last year!

    My allotment, for various reasons, is 2/3 covered in weeds. Only the area which had the spuds and tomatoes is relatively weed free.
    I am intending to dig it all over and plant green manure.....apparently there is one I can still get in now.

    I think if your plot was already dug over earlier in the year it maybe won't be as bad as the one in the pictures above?

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...
