Title: plots available........doncaster
Post by: marestail murderer on November 03, 2007, 07:58:44
just a quickie.............as most of you know.we were flooded badly this year and most of our crops are long gone.............hopefully it wont happen again for a while but its led to people not wanting to take the risk again.
my next door neighbour has sadly given up his allotment...........and one or two others are giving up too......leading to surplus plots that are going to be available next year
all are in a state........work is needed on them all and theres always the risk of another flood as they are right next to the river............
rents are about 25 quid a plot................mine is two plots and costs me about 55 quid with the water rates.............
anyone local whos interested can pm me privatly and ill try to sort out something

vandal problems seem to be on the wane since new fencing went up.but then again.......vandals would have needed subaqua gear to get on most of the summer.....lol

so....local to doncaster and interested.........?
give me a shout!

glad to bring a smile saddad........but there are some amazing plots available.
all need work.as i said..........but the one next to me has established fruit trees..apple pear and plum...........sad to see it under weeds chest high..........but for us lottie folk who are visionary.........?
the flooding was bad.............but its  only the second time in living memory that it was this bad..........we do get mini floods...........ive seen two in 6 years...........but its mainly the footpaths that get covered......up to your ankle stuff............and gone in a couple of days.............but thats the price you pay for being on the riverbank!
im preraring for the next one by planting rice.............lol
