Hi all..just taken on 4 1/2 rod in allotment

There's a bad joke in there somewhere.

Is that 4.5 rod on a side, or a total of 4.5 square rods? There's a
big difference between about 93 square metres (4.5 rod square) and 21
square metres (4.5 square rods)?


Better to express it in square cubits. Or barns, or pyeongs or sokhas.
Anything but a rational unit.
