Down in the village, a mile and a half away. It's 1640 sq yards and I
used to keep milk goats on it until they passed away of old age.
My local council want me to lease it to them for allotments, but I'm not
keen as they want a 10 year minimum lease and I had plans for growing
stuff on it myself when I retire (which will be during that 10 year
period.) I just don't have time atm with working and having 1/4 acre here
that is getting away from me.
I had this brilliant idea. Or is it? There is such a demand for
allotments here that the council cannot fulfil, that I could mark it out
in plots and let it on a crop sharing basis. It has a water tap and is
well fenced with 6 ft high gate with a key lock, not a padlock.
Thus getting veggies for myself with no effort!
Has anyone ever done this or know anyone who has?
What does the team think?

P.S. Nothing chemical has been put on this land since I bought it 25+
years ago, so it would be totally organic.
