25th April 2008 - Starting Out !

It all started with a meeting on 25th April 2008 with Nicky Ellis from Wrexham Council to go and visit 2 plots at the Price's Lane Allotments in Wrexham.

We chose Plot 121 because it was in a prettier area, and had a grassy area for Henry to run around on next to it.

The plot is a 'quarter plot' and is 8.5m by 4.5m. It was already marked out and needed some major digging !!

In the next week Henry and I went digging several times and found everything from glass, bricks and plastic to car axles and scaffolding pipes buried beneath the surface. We also found out that it used to be the site of the tip and so that would explain the amount of things buried in it !
