Hi Paul we live in Chesterfield. I have asked them not to rotavate the allotment until I have dug it over and got out some of the weeds. The greenhouse is made of wood and is in a bad state so that will be a job in the summer, I will section part of it off an use it for a potting shed taking out the glass to be used in the rest of the greenhouse, I will then cover with ply and roofing felt for protection. I will place some photos on my blog this weekend, link at bottom of page. good luck for the coming year.....keep on digging.

Thats a fantastic deal including being rotavated, just had a look at your flick, excellent plot & pictures, looks like very fertile soil.

Wish you all the best, get planting, preparation is all done
