Allotments
I have noticed new-comers trying to tackle a whole allotment at the outset.
First it's Round Up, then "Digging for Victory" digging like crazy, plastic sheeting and carpet all over the place. Then only planting a few rows of lettuce and discovering that the rest of the plot has become covered with weeds.
Mr. Mean's advice is to only dig over a small part of the plot at a time, then fill it with veg before moving on to the next. There’s nothing worse seeing all your hard work go to ruin, it just makes you feel like giving up.
Little and often is best for new plot holder. Build up slowly and don’t bite off more than you can chew!
