The allotment in spring. A whole load of fresh cut beech woodchip put down. My brother dragged it all out of the woods where they cut fallen trees. An hour each bin load on the trolley! I told him he didn't need to, but he insisted. Free exercise.

Bottom of the allotment, covered in fresh woodchip. There's a composter, bins and a hazel tree.
Top garden area of the allotment, sparse spring growth above a small flagged terrace. Two small cypresses in pots flank central steps upwards to a curving stepping stone path. A pallet fence sits at the top. Sunshine shines down.
View from the top of the allotment downhill, showing the garden area, the terrace with raised beds and the hazel tree in the distance at the bottom. Terraced houses rise above the fence at the bottom of the hill.
Nice! One of my trees fell over in the winter storms, so I'll be putting it in my neighbour's woodchipper some time this week.
Allotment's already lookin' good mate 😊
Cheers! Ooo your neighbour has a wood chipper, lucky. I rely on the council's and follow it around the neighbourhood. 😎

My neighbour's one of those people who has one of everything, and a spare one just in case 🤣
Came in very handy when my garden tap decided to spring a leak yesterday 🙄
I just looked at the pic of all the woodchip. You see the pile of stones? I've just remembered what's under it. When I started the area I got my brother to butcher the hazel tree, coppicing the crap out of it. I felt bad about it, so I buried a marble egg I had next to it as an offering, then built the cairn of spare stones over it.
The tree has come back strong. Mind you, it was always going to, its a hazel.
