  1. Them toms look very nice as do the peppers I hope mine look as good ?
  2. Cheers darbo like you say when I'm on top I will stay on top cheers?
  3. Empty plots? it's hard to get one round here big waiting list.....has for prize winning veg I'll be happy if they start growing lol
  4. I think ours has just gone up to £38Rabbits was from ww2 era rationing etc,lot of council allotments allowed hens for eggs no cock birds and rabbit for meat . And yes some of the plots here had 5 ft high growth. Thought it was something like that cheers....we arnt allowed cocks here or ducks only female hens as it says in the rule book lol So £30-40 is the going rate not bad considering the size of plot and the veg I can hopefully get off it
  5. Oh one more thing I'm paying £40 a year(inc water) is that the going rate....I think it's a good price considering the plot
  6. So it would be a good idea to get chickens as soon as to help with weeding etc? It's only 5 mins from my house so letting them out and putting back in is not a problem,I'm allowed 10 chickens but think I'll just get 4/6. Also they said I can keep rabbits upto 9 I couldn't think why is it some thing to do with allotments years ago?
  7. I'm already talking to the old hands a couple was helping me on Sunday so I will be picking their brains
  8. Well just got my first allotment,just sorting the place out getting rid of bits of rubbish and stuff. There are a couple of buildings to come down that are rotten,which I've started to take down and burn. There is a bit of a problem with cocaine weed invasion which needs to be dealt with. On the plus side I've got a good patch of rhubarb? plus I'm allowed to keep chickens on it as well,so going to be busy for a while,so if anyone as tips like dos and don't feel free to share as I'm a allotment virgin?
  9. Could grow some winter onions, shallots and garlic in your raised beds, if not what about a green manure to stop soil erosion and give a bit of colour winter tares or field beans cheers mate for advice there is however a change of plans,I've just been offered a allotment so the rises beds are going down there cheers
  10. Oh yes darbo good point didn't think of calor gas ??

  12. Nice to have a shed or allotment with gas pumped in...?
  13. Yep it's that time of year..harvest done time to move on,farmers cutting corn saying I saw rabbit and foxes can you help lol
  14. If you got a shed on a allotment or your back garden buy a frontier stove they are a good bit of kit 1 pallet will keep you warm for a week plus you can boil a kettle on them ?

  17. i can see both sides of the argument here,but at the end of the day its each to their own. i have ferreted in summer and it is awful to be honest sweating nettles etc these days i prefer to shoot a few in summer then ferret in winter i dont get big bags but im happy and so is the farmer with what i get.
