I let my sweet peas scramble on the ground to the tut tut of old

One of the great things about allotments is that you get all sorts of
advice, right and/or wrong, from neighbouring allotmenters. You know which
is right and which is wrong by looking at the fruits, and veggies, of their

Any idea why it is difficult to start a discussion on urg without somebody
getting the hump?

No, didn't think so. I have one theory ... anyone want to hear it?
