Jeez. Let the administrators in and see what happens.
It can hardly be economically viable to own an allotment.


Certainly isn't around here, for a working age person it's over 100 per
year for 10 sq rods, half price for us pensioners. We treat it as our
hobby
so it's a lot cheaper than golf. :-)


I'd have thought it was cheaper to borrow a bit of someone's garden.


No security of tenure though. Would I have improved the soil and done other
things like remove larger stones and planted cherry trees and soft fruit
without that security, doubtful.
