Welcome

Welcome to the 'Digging for Health' blog, a record of the development of a social enterprise project supported by Engage UnLtd and Age Concern, Dorchester, UK. We have been allocated a community allotment (thanks to the Volunteer Centre, Dorset), which is very overgrown and run down. This blog will provide a history of the development of the allotment, as we return it to a fully functioning and productive resource that aims to not only produce vegetables but also raise social capital (what's social capital?...read the blog!). This blog belongs to Fran Biley. This views expressed here are his, and he takes full responsibility for them. They may not represent the views of the organisations that are mentioned here.

We've lost our wheelbarrow...

...well, not quite lost it. But the guy in the next allotment came along and claimed it as his. Hmmm.

Apart from that, the sun was almost shining today, which is why we were at the allotment and the three of us put in about 6 man hours, MJ (still co-ordinated and in his Yak Hat), did a good job levelling the ground around the shed, so that it is ready to receive the grass mats when they arrive (early next week I think); James and I spent our time digging ground a couple of rows wide, removing about a bag of couch grass roots. Bob will be along next Tuesday to plant up the rows with pototoes.

Here's a couple of pics - James collecting couch roots, MJ contemplating a hummock.
