Allotments 4 All

---

Hi All, I have just found out that apple are getting rid of ipods. Having used one on the plot for quite a while I am disappointed. The new ones are like phones and cost over a hundred pounds. I will not go there. I have heard about mp3 players. I looked them up and they are more affordable. I am interested in getting one. Does anyone use them? are they compatible with iTunes? are they rechargeable or battery? I am even considering trying a down load of my music to a disc as I still have a disc player. Not being that computer orientated I am a little confused. I like the ipods as only I hear it and it doesn't bother others unlike those still using radios. Any help advice recommendations would be most welcome. thanks

Hello

I would like to know please does anyone know of a farm or place that would deliver manure by the load/tractor as my regular supplier seems to not be doing it any longer. I live in the Stoke-on-trent/staffordshire moorlands area. I do not want to buy it per bag as I have 2 allotments.

Thanks in advance.

A friend is giving away some strawberry plants - how easy are they to grow?  I was thinking of having them between apple trees.
Are birds a problem?  I have tried in containers with no success - possibly because we have rats in the garden.
(These will be grown in the allotment).

That's the last of the photos you will be pleased to hear.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to the last Harrogate Autumn show at this venue as it moves to Newby Hall next year, which is between Harrogate and Ripon so a little further away for me but possibly easier to get to as it is nearer the motorway!

The Spring show will remain here at the current Show ground which is understandable as most of it is under cover which is often needed up hear in the wild and woolly North in Spring!
