Day 20 - You go to do one job but end up doing another.

We had gone with every intention of doing one job, but on the way to the allotment we noticed that a local stable had just made a fresh delivery of manure. So seven trips up and down the hill later, we had manure which now covered all the potato bed, ready to be dug in January/February and also a barrow load for each compost bin we are working. That kept me busy, and our lass got busy removing even more carpet, you can see the cleared area on the last photo, and the pile on the 4th. Also our lass planted another two blueberry bushes, it seems you need differing varieties as well as ericaceous soil for blueberries, so the old raised bed works wonders to let them have their own environment. 

Then finally the stump, bit by bit it has been sawn down, our lass has the plan of putting a pot around the stump, planting some flowers and letting that rot down the stump, lot easier than trying to dig it out. The pot won't be the grey cylinder you see, but we have more hose pipe which we have found, so watch out for the creation in the future.
