It would hardly be a shock on our site, we go round three sides of a Victorian Cemy on a hill, nice quiet neighbours, no bother.... and any movement down slope is free bonemeal!

It's a safe bet that someone will have manured their runner beans with a corpse at some point.

Wouldn't surprise me - I've never had any trouble growing stuff in my 'Pet Sematary' - the border directly under the windows. Our daft old dog is under the main bedroom (a good 4ft down, mind you), and my cat, who lived to 21, is beside him. In fact, most of the neighbours' pets have contributed to the soil condition over the years! The joys of living on the ground floor of a block of flats, I suppose!
The down side?
When one of the local kids is there, chatting to me as I work in the garden and I inadvertantly turn up a rather dilapidated bin liner...
:P ;D

ooo how exciting... we are always finding bones on our plot - well my 9yo son is! Alas they are cow bones and he has a whole collection of teeth that he finds.

I've got a 'nail graveyard' on my plot. MILLIONS of 'em ... all dead and rusty!
Never found anything remotely as interesting as Roman remains and I've definitely NEVER found any coins of any description. My allotment ancestors obviously had very deep pockets ;D

I've found a few animal bones, but I know people lived in the shed for a while in the Blitz, and there must have been a good many picnics on the plot over the years.

This is very creepy, we found a bone only last Sunday that looked exactly like a vertabrae and the size of a human one. I have kept it as it was odd....no couldn't be, I am getting paranoid now, it is creepy though, maybe it is from a cow, I will go and but oxtail this week I think and compare. mmmm XX Jeannine
