Impressive.   :)

I like the big green tunnel - where did that come from? Green with envy!

the green net tunnel came via a mate, it's builders netting, for stopping bricks falling on people, we've got enough for two 14' cabbage etc beds, keeps lots of nasties off.
The big club you can see forced us off our 8 year old organic plot,that's why we had to take this over, there are no excess allotments in wigan, there's a massive waiting list

to supersprout we havn't got many pictures of the crops seemed to be to busy watering feeding & Picking ;D
to half acre it does seem big but when we took over the wet lands as we called it early oct 05 we measured up and tried several plans to get the most of what we had...condenced everything...the plot we had on the site which is now underneath the new club, along with three others, was 1/4 larger but due to inexperiance we wasted a lot in its design. in one of the photoes on this page or our other ( above or below this one) you can see our chairman eric 85 his plot now is only a quarter of the size of his old plot, which he had for 30 years, and is now below the new club...he secretly hopes that his mares tail eruptes through the middle of the dance floor next year  ;D

Well done manics looks like u worked really hard, good luck with your growing and u no where to put your compost heap right outside the club. If that fails to annoy then i suggest a hidden bucket of nettles in water.
