Does any council insist on chemical-free gardening for an allotment
holder? Can an allotment committee insist on it even if the council
doesn't?


Ours uses weedkiller on all unused plots.
It's not a problem and ensures you have clean ground to start with. Anything
else is just a backbreaking fight against perennial weeds which you may not
win. Glysophate is not a pernicious chemical and quickly breaks down on
contact with soil.
