I took all the advice seriously and weighed up the pros and cons of both ideas. I happened to be passing a friends house yesterday and there are some lotties just down the road from her. There was a chap working there and I stopped to have a chat to him. The Sec. happened to be there, and offered me a plot straight away. Not too big, well dug, with just a covering of annual weeds, and some thistles. Shed and base for greenhouse and cold frame. Perfect really. Hubby looked too, and having been a bit sceptical, was coverted without any persuasion!! I guess all this made up my mind for me. I agree with you, the cost is SO much less than the raised bed idea.
Thanks for listening to me, and giving your opinion. Keep up keeping me on the straight and narrow!!
Next week it will be all go go go.
