The folks working the NT allotments near The Giant's Ring invite my family to a bbq now and then. What a place! In addition to their splendid double barbecue they've now build an outdoor stone and clay pizza oven (housed in the grass shelter from where the smoke is rising in one of these pictures). My son is the monkey swinging in the foreground. Been on the waiting list for a good while. It'll be worth the wait as the soil is good and it will keep a more regular link with a part of the world we used to live in. Both my wife and I are starting or enlarging some growing as therapeutic activity with people we work with but we have everything to learn. I'm hoping to start with a raised bed next year. Where I live we have some common ground which is largely poorly drained stony subsoil as we are in a new-build and I'd like advice on how to improve the soil/drainage. Was thinking wormery? adding an inexpensive source of humous to rot in? cultivating in raised beds?... any thoughts..? Attachments:
