Allotment question
wrote in message ... Hi people I'm not sure what to think of this... We've had a council allotment for over 30 years. Water has always been the biggest problem. The council eventually did put in cattle-style troughs nearby, but people are expected to fill their watering cans from the trough and carry it back to their allotment some 40 yards away. Some sneaky buggers attach a hose to the trough and spray for hours. But of course nobody snitches to the council. I would say that water is the biggest problem on an allotment. In Oxford, so I understand, they have standpipes on which to attach hoses. Where we are, some 30 miles away, there is nothing except an occasional cattle trough. Get yourself some sort of greenhouse or anything with a roof, and collect your own water via a water butt from the greenhouse or polytunnel. someone |
