Bramble bonfire

Burning bramble rootsHere’s the fire I made of the bramble roots from just 4 sq m of my new allotment empire.

Burn, you bastards, burn!

Broken forkProgress on digging it has been snail-like. Not to mention expensive; I got a bit ambitious with one particularly stubborn bramble root and broke my wretched fork.

My feelings are best expressed by the slogan a Norfolk grass turf company used to have written on its lorries:

“If you can’t seed it, sod it.”
