I have 3 plots, each one is approx 400 square meters (i haven't a clue what this is in poles). There is no waiting list on our allotment site and there are plots still available, so i don't feel guilty having 3 plots. I keep them all tidy nearly weed free...i love it and do spend a lot of time down there

Your getting into the realms of a small tractor

Your getting into the realms of a small tractor 400 square metres == 16 pole, and 16 poles x 3 == 48 poles. That's getting into the realms of a small country!
15.81 poles = 400 sq meters
The bit about the allocation of land after 1066 is interesting. The majority land is still owned by a relatively small number of landowners, and we are having to scratch about on tiny pieces of land and are made to feel guilty if we manage to get more than one. Yet there are vast amounts of land hardly used.
