I have no idea what this beautiful caterpillar will turn into.
Progress is being made. Lots of ideas thought of,but hard work first. The site is looking better. A lot of stuff has been cleared. Many trips to the tip are being made but on the plus we have lots of firewood for my sister
Going right back to your opener, I wouldn't worry about a rotovator and nettles (other than their roots getting tangled round it) When I bought this place the old veg garden was nettles and thistles over my head, I pulled as much as I could out over winter and then ran a rotovator over it twice in spring folled by a rake/garden fork, the nettles vanished, the thistles didn't as they went down deeper than the rotovator or the fork, but they were delt with with a dutch hoe. Nettles I do not find a big problem although their seedlings come as a nasty surprise when weeding! Now Horsetail urgh not so much fun.

had an invitation to spend a day on Willbaras allotment plot and have seen what it looked like thirty years ago and what it looks like now.

Go along with scroggin
Watching badgers at play is worth sacrificing some of your produce.
You would know if there are badgers about they are inclined to leave a mark on the ground where their belly drags along the ground.
Or so i was told when we thought we had badgers on our allotment site.
The trouble is they can cause a lot of damage when they put their snout to the ground and just move along.
nothing seems to stop them.
wonderful creatures though
I will experiment with urine and chillies. Perhaps orange peel and I will see what happens.
That's not a sentence you read very often
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
