We have a smallholding and very little about it is modern - an Anderson shelter fits in rather well, and I don't know anyone else who has got one ("as new" anyway) in their garden. It's a frost free place to store spuds and I have a yen to grow musshrooms in it too... But did you erect it properly, in a hole 3 feet deep? Oh yes! Mind you I cheated and used a JCB to dig the hole. Thanks for the other responses. I think I shall get some saladini mix in tonight. Thanks also for the sempervivum suggestion. I don't know much about non-edible gardening but a quick google provided the following: http://www.succulent-plant.com/sempervivum.html "In some places Sempervivums are traditionally grown on roofs between thatching, tiles or timber. In ancient times, this was thought to guard against thunderbolts, storms and sorcery and ensure the prosperity of the occupants." So. Perfect for an air-raid shelter roof then! Thanks again. |
