The message
from "Bertie Doe" contains these words:


One of my neighbours, overtime has purchased an additional 3 allotments
and
rents another (rotavator job). Sadly most of the piggeries have gone and
have become garages or hard-standings. Last September there were 3, but
the
best of the 3 (pictures 1 and 2) has now been demolished.

Pity you can't get some pigs in there to clear the overgrown
allotments. They will reduce a jungle to
fertilised weedfree dug soil in just a few months.

You'd probably need a licence, which may be difficult to get. A couple of
goats would do the job, but they wouldn't reach 200 lb and fill a deep
freeze. -
