allotments
Hello,
I would like to grow my own fruit and veg, so I enquired about allotments. There are two sites locally both on hills. One has quite a gradient and the other is less so. Would I be right to choose the flatter of the two? Does the slope make a different to plants? Both plots have been neglected and are very overgrown. The chap who showed me around tried to reassure me that it wasn't as bad as it looks. He suggested I hire a strimmer to cut back the growth and a rotavator to dig the soil. Is this a good idea or should I check he doesn't own the hire shop I've only ever used an electric strimmer on grass on the lawn before; never a petrol one and I've never used a rotavator. Are they worth hiring or picking up second hand? How big is a rotavator; will it fit in a standard car, else how will I get it to the allotment? Thanks. |
