Will it bring a Flood of questions?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../nallot114.xml
Just in case you're wondering what I'm on about. Its about allotment sizes being reduced to cope with increasing demand for such plots and some rule about 1 plot per 1000 residents ... or something like that. |

I've seen lots of plots on sites around here that are not kept well (if at all) and cannot understand why the gardeners are not asked to clean up their plots or go. There is a plot opposite ours that is totally derelict, the only things on it are a plum tree and apricot tree and these are dying for lack of care, fruit disappears though! Often it's people that are too old/frail to tend a full plot so a small one would be more appropriate anyway. Since they closed our old site we have gone down from 15 to 7.5 rods, half the area, without too much problem, just more detailed and careful planning. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

On our allotment sight every one of them are taken - and there is 30 yes 30
on the waiting list. I have a half plot at 5 x 5 rods - perfectly happy with that as my crop rotation also includes my raised vegetable beds at home. The rumour is that in future as a whole plot is given up it will be made into 2 5 x 5 plots which i think is brilliant. A full plot next to mine is derilict, the couple who have it have been rarely seen and when they do appear for a short visit all they do is moan about the effort that is needed to get it sorted!!! I followed the newspaper link but got distracted by the Roy Keane story - as a Sunderland fan living down south I couldn't agree more with him. "Bob Hobden" wrote in message ...
