Title: Get in there!
Post by: amphibian on January 16, 2014, 21:40:14: After 3 years without an allotment - due to a house move - it looks like I am just about to get a new plot at my Parish Council's new shiny allotment site.

Super excited.

Ha Ha!!!

That was a long wait for a new plot. Really pleased for you. Wish you a really good first season. What is the soil like?

The site is tucked under the North Downs and the soil changes several times as you head up the slope. I don't think it is chalky this low down the slope.

Have fun.
