It's not really an allotment, but I'm getting to the idea of vegging on
the
bank. Trouble is, it's on a wicked slope, about 1 in 2. Is this likely to
make it drain too much for most veggies? I know most stuff need water to
produce the bits you eat, apart from root veg.

Anyone had experience of growing veg (particularly legumes) on a slope
like
that?

I could quite easily rig up a pump to water it straight from the river
though, as long as the veg was washed properly before eating that
shouldn't
be a problem.

I think I might also get competition from Mr Ratty and his friends the
rabbits, but maybe I can fence that off in a Mr McGregor stylee.



At the moment, what's preventing this bank of yours from gradually
sliding into the river, whenever there's heavy rain ?

That might no longer be there, if you dig it all up ?
