Plots Shape up at Birchill Lane, Muriel Jones Site
Plot holders have been busy at Birchill Lane, clearing the turf. The photo below shows the new Community Plot. Tutor Marina Swinburne and volunteer, Lara Nicholls, have been working with ten enthusiastic people on the new course run by Frome Community Education in partnership with Frome Allotment Association.
Plot Holders first job is to take the grass off the surface.Photos by Alistair Wood
Team work ensures good progress.
A variety of methods have been used to lift the turf: diggers, turf lifting machines, spades, turfing irons.
So many ways to lift the turf and create a new plot.
Everyone has to help when it comes to clearing the ground.

I have been walking these fields for thirteen years and had always dreamt of buying this field…. Would love the chance to be able to grow veg and flowers on one of these plots…. Fingers crossed.
