Rubbish. It may not be /advised/ to, but anyone inheritting an allotment
won't have the foggiest what has been planted there for past four years.


Oh yes they will. My wife will tell them.

So if you take over an allotment you might find Onion rust, blight, Club
root, Potato eel worm, wire worm, Carrot root fly, Onion white rot, etc.
etc.
Not worth having an alotment is it.
