The soil is warming up quickly. 11°C-12°C up from 8°C a week ago.

Water infiltration tests carried out on the growing beds have shown a couple of beds have issues. I wouldn’t have guessed the differences.

Water infiltration results ranged from 3 mins 28 seconds (rye grass green manures) to 14 minutes 41 seconds (mulching compost) on a colder, shaded bed.

The faster infiltration rates occurred on the green manured beds over the mulched beds.#Allotment #SoilHealth #Soil

Agroforestry
"Combining trees with crops or livestock is more productive, better for wildlife and healthier for the planet, but only 3% of the UK’s farmland currently practices agroforestry."

Agroforestry | Soil Association

What Is Agroforestry? Agroforestry describes farming systems that combine trees and shrubs with agricultural crops or livestock. Agroforestry can be designed in a way that avoids potential trade-offs between food production and other public goods that occur in many modern farming systems.

Some of our homemade #compost #soil. It's like gold to us gardeners 💚👩‍🌾
Prepping some large pots with it, to get ready for transplanting of my tomato plants in 2-3 weeks. I put a fish head & banana peel at bottom of each large pot.

Relocating the kitchen garden after getting rid of the concrete around it.

You can nicely see the difference between the good soil and the clay rich stuff below in the spot where I scraped too deeply.

The big grading bucket moves dirt fast but unfortunately it just started raining, to my great annoyance. Sprinted out to rescue some stuff and now having coffee while hoping it doesn't get too muddy to continue. 😫

Like most excavator work, it requires a bit of strategy. Here I'm piling the good soil in the middle, then I'll have to move the bad soil over it to fill the gap left behind and then distribute the good soil in the new hole.
