And what's wrong with green eyes? When I had contact lens overwearing,
I discovered that (underneath the brown), my eyes are grass green.
It's not exceptional in someone of largely Celtic stock ....

I assume she meant green = naive.
She also used to say in similar cirumstances "I'm not so green as
cabbage-looking."

I deduced that! I'm quite fond of the latter aphorism in the form
"I'm not so green as I'm cabbage-looking."

If you let the council let it, you might lose control of the land.
Consult a solicitor!

Quite right.
Don't lose the plot!

Oh yes, it would be. It would be a condition of tenancy.
Your difficulty would be in enforcing the condition.

Not really. The plotholders who embraced the organic philosophy would
grass
;-)

That's detection. The hard bit is proving the offence was committed
by the plot holder, and enforcing the contract if he denies blame.


Let's just hope two people see it then ;-)
I would expect anyone who takes an organic plot, which are hard to come by,
and strict conditions about it, would actually want it to remain so.

I won't. You see, it seemed to me that if the council approached me for
them to use it as allotments, there would be no reason why it couldn't be
done.
So if I wanted to do it privately, how could they say no? They couldn't.
Either it's suitable for an allotment site, or it isn't and they will shoot
themselves in the foot if they were to object, since they wanted it for the
same reason ;-)

and because of the above, I wouldn't bother with getting involved with other
people :-(((

Look at this lot on here, keen gardeners, but don't know how to 'prune' the
useless dross which has gone before!!!

I had this brilliant idea. Or is it?

There was a thread not so long ago from someone who wanted to let out a
large greenhouse as allotments. Although a lot of it is irrelevant, some
of the points made in that thread are relevant to your situation.


'twas me ;-)

Too costly to do what with all the problems with insewerences and liability
etc

I feel this proposed venture is the same and would plump for Christmas
Trees. This was suggested to me for quite an area at my last house which had
tooooooo much land. Never did anything about it, but there is quite a
business here on the Isle of Wight near Newport called 'Shide Trees'. A lot
more land, but how much do you need. I feel this would be a superb plot and
would look into it. 'Real' Christmas Trees are well in fashion, and sell
them rooted it has cleared the land for the next lot. Let them have the fun
and pleasure of digging their own up :-)))
