It is time to plan some lasanga guerilla gardens.
I have 3 things in my favour.
There is a railway a few hundred metres down the road with spare land alongside it. It is autumn so leaves are falling. It is autumn so a bed of organic matter laid down now will rot nicely for a mi to late spring planting.
To date I have lifted some large flat cardboard sheets and placed on them on the spare land and covered with 3 bags of horse poop. Shortly some leave will be added.
Come spring there should be a nice fertile patch to plant sweet corn and pumpkin.
