My daughter has had her allotment ruined, she grows flowers shrubs etc.
at home and keeps the allotment for vegetables and soft fruit, She is very
keen gardener and competes at local flower shows etc. Her allotment is
or was organic and she grows herbs amongst the veg, I am telling you
this cos it says the sort of gardener she is. However a few days ago
someone put weedkiller all over the plants and yesterday after being
away for a camping weekend she found that someone had pulled up all
the plants and burnt the lot. She knows who it was but cannot contact
them, the fact that the person involved is of limited intelligence makes
it
almost impossible to take the matter further. I feel so sad for her :-(

I am sorry to read that. Your poor daughter. Perhaps a call to the
police will prevent something similar happening again or to someone
else. Don't allotment holders have a sort of board of organisers or
similar?

IIRC the same thing happened to Bob some time ago. He was -
unsurprisingly - very upset at the time.

I want to thank everyone for their kind concern and comments. My daughter
does not want to involve the police as they are a small community but she is
getting in contact with all the other people who have allotments on the same
site to tell them who did what and ask them to watch out for the individual
who is guilty. He is still avoiding her but he cannot hide forever. In the
meantime she is going to restock and start growing again. One problem is
that she does not know what sort of weedkiller was used but until she tries
she will not know, thanks again I will make sure that she reads the group,
she will appreciate all the comments, I will keep you all posted to further
developments
