On the subject of allotments

It's not really an allotment, but I'm getting to the idea of vegging on the bank. Trouble is, it's on a wicked slope, about 1 in 2. Is this likely to make it drain too much for most veggies? I know most stuff need water to produce the bits you eat, apart from root veg. Anyone had experience of growing veg (particularly legumes) on a slope like that? I could quite easily rig up a pump to water it straight from the river though, as long as the veg was washed properly before eating that shouldn't be a problem. I think I might also get competition from Mr Ratty and his friends the rabbits, but maybe I can fence that off in a Mr McGregor stylee. Terrace it into nice 'raised' beds and crop-rotate. For four-legged 'friends' suggest mix of fences, traps and a .410. Do note that you need a license to abstract water from a river in the UK. |
