I have found this topic very interesting, I have a bit of land -not quite
half an acre - doing nothing and I was wondering about offering it for
someone to use as an allotment. Reading the comments it might be more
trouble than it is worth. My husband suggested planting with fruit trees
but that makes even more work. Hopefully I will get inspired over the
winter :-)

Depends on your age. How about a couple of goats? I kept goats for 20
years. If you don't want the bother of milking, get two neutered males who
will not only keep the land nice with zero weeds but provide you with plenty
of compost material from their hut.
If you are young enough to do milking twice a day and make cheese and butter
go for the girl goats ;-)
