The soil looks very bad as you can see from the first picture below,  so the first step is to make it more fertile.

We had a great source of spinach on the path, until the landlord hired an old guy with a weed-eater to kill them all :-( but luckily Beth saw some small seeds from the plant had sprouted in the neighbours ground, so she quickly grabbed some of them while I captured the evidence on video!
