In Danmark too - I've got lots of pictures of fantastic 'shed', houses
really, which I took in September, on huge allotment sites but there's
not a lot of place for growing stuff ;o)


The Dutch propagate and grow kids on their allotments.
Subsidies on solar panel kits were terminated when it was found most kits were
used to charge batteries to run the fridge to keep the beer cool in the
allotment shed.


This discussion ought to be continued over the fence.

I like the idea of a solar fridge in any case, it seems to cock a snook
at the natural order of things in a very sheddi way.
