Cleared and Used Mantis Tiller
Today I spent 2 and a half hours down on the allotment clearing half of the allotment and have also cleared the polytunnel of all the Tomato plants. The Strawberry and Pineberry Plants in the Polytunnel will need replanting. I used the tiller to do half of the allotment and dismantled the Runner Bean canes. I will add some Manure to that part of the allotment eventually and have to clear all the raised beds at some point. The ground was still a little frozen but was quite a sunny and cold day.
