Don't throw it out; use it in the garden



Whilst we know some of those things there are some I wouldn't contemplate,
too untidy even on the allotment. I actually find I always have too many
proper pots and anyway a local GC has a bin for old pots and you can add or
take away as you want, got some free tree sized pots that way.

What I find is that some allotment gardeners use their plots as a dumping
ground for stuff they no longer want at home and when they give up, as they
always do, the poor person taking over spends days clearing and driving old
manky rubbish to the dump before they can even consider gardening. Then they
find glass and all sorts of old rubbish mixed into the soil too, as we did
when we took our latest plot over. Still finding glass and bits of plastic
occasionally, seem to have got rid of the bricks and fork jamming sized
stones now thankfully.
