A friend's allotments is that, a housing block that was never used and a local farmer ploughed it over for him.  I used it with him for a season. It's lovely soil and we never would have worked it if the farmer hadn't broken up the soil for us. Use it for crops that take up space, you can do loads of spuds and beans and squash. We gerw everything, he even did melons and he got, and still gets a terrific harvest. It beats digging by bloody hand!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
