Hi all from a very newbie!
Just started to potter around the site this evening and I'm loving it! :) Incredible amount of information available from all you very experienced allotmenteers!
I went to visit a site today which has previously been a market garden (but not for many years). The site covers about 20+ acres and is being split into about 20 allotments. I'm in the unusual position that I can choose where I would like our (dh and I) allotment to be. The plots are going to be long and thin - only about 5m wide
If I've done this right - you should be able to click on the link to see the site. The plots are going to run from the left of the poly tunnel round the corner and then they will finish level with the far edge of the building that's in the picture.

Is there anything to be concerned about with a plot that is only 5m wide?
I'll take some photos as and when I can and post for all to see. It's a real blank canvas and I just hope that we can do it justice!
Back to my planning! See you all soon!
