I thought id show you all the biggest project i have for 2008.

alot

This is an allotment i have just taken on. It hasnt been looked after for a few years, and as you can see from the picture it is in need of alot of work. There are weeds upto my knees, rubble and glass everywhere and rotting veg aplenty.

This is located a few hundred meteres away from my home. I am a backyard bonsai artist, yet i also do all of my growing at home as well. Seeds, cuttings, grafts, i do all of this at home, and it takes up a great deal of space for most of the year. The plan is to relocate this aspect of what i do to this allotment space. There is plenty of space here for me to begin doing what i plan to do.

This is the reason i have not been placing many posts lately. Every dry day i get im here, digging away. I hope to have 2 10 sqm raised grow beds in place in the next week or so. These will be raised by 40 cms for 2 reasons. First to give me a more comfy work height, and secondly, space to bury alot of the rubble located here.

I thought i would share this with you, as although it isnt directly bonsai related, it is very important to me and my development in bonsai.
