New growing bed

Started to lay out the new bed for July growth which will be getting some spinach and cabbages.

So I've been forking the grow turning over the soil and removing the weeds out of the earth.  That may sound easy but getting the weeds right down to the roots which is time consuming.  There are probably still some weed roots in the soil but there will be easier to moving once they start shooting out of the ground.

So once you gone over with the fork turn the ground over and getting air into the soil, making sure that there are no weeds.  There are probably still weeds, the crafty buggers don't go easily.  So now that the you've forked it all over it'd time to start using a hoe.  A Dutch hoe to be precise which you can use to really break the soil up getting even more air into the soil.  this helps to break the soil up so when you drop you plants into the ground it is easier for the roots to spread out under the ground.

Once the allotment is better set up I'll start making some tutorials on how to use equipment and what there best for.  I am learning as I go along so any information I learn I will shear with the world all in good time.
