#vegplot — Public Fediverse posts

As the nights draw in, October is a great time to reflect on this year's harvest and plan the next. Grab a cuppa and start designing your 2026 layout on VegPlotter. A good plan now means a great harvest later!

Interestingly I never had any problem with getting parsnip seeds to germinate when sown directly in the selected outdoor growing plot.

My allotment visitor of yesterday.

I'm looking for some advice on cleaning/remediating a small patch of ground that was a long term domestic waste dump - mostly by incineration (open bonfires). That operation ceased more than 20 years ago.
Currently just digging out the bramble roots and exposing the contaminated ground.
Is there a plant that could be sown here and that might germinate and survive - perhaps a 'green manure'? Definitely not planning to grow veg in this section of this plot!

Thanks for all the comments and tips. #Allotment #VegPlot

#Burgage #BurgagePlot

Wikipedia offers a very good description of the ancient burgage system of land management.

Here is a link to Pembroke town history - chosen not as it's the best but because it has accessible maps.

Attached below is one of those maps showing the burgage plots where I can identify the plot I currently use as a #VegPlot.

I dig or mostly fork that plot. For 'no dig' I think you really need small raised beds to avoid walking on and compacting the soil. I top mulch and sow 'green manure' at the appropriate times - getting good yields but then its been a domestic plot for centuries (old burgage plot).

Luckily only a light frost here leaving just a thin 'crust' of frozen soil to break through with the fork 😊

Just dug and cleaned out an extension to an existing veg plot. Hoping it'll be productive this season 🌾🌱

When digging my veg plot which is an ancient 'burgage plot', I collect all the broken parts of clay pipes. So far only found one bowl but many inches of pipe stem!

Trying to be self-sufficient with just a few types of vegetables on my tiny veg plot. Still keep referring this old 'Dig for Victory Leaflet No 1' to see how much more I could achieve.
