Got a new allotment
« on: November 20, 2007, 19:52:37 »
Hello all,
I have not been on this site for a few months as i have been waiting for a new plot on my local site (Buntingford in Herts) after having had one a bit too far away to look after properly which was also made of a substance as yet undiscovered by science but much harder than granite.(It broke a hired rotavator).
I got the good news this week and had a look last night in the pouring rain. It is covered in brambles and has a couple of hefty tree stumps in it but it is 1 and a half plots so i can do it a bit a time.
There are a lot of rabbitts/hares on the site and most other plots have chicken wire at varying heights. Does anyone know how high these little critters can jump?

yes how deep they dig, i buried base of my chicken wire round my half plot,
since i have had it, every time i find stones or broken bricks i have been putting them round the base as and when.
