Allotments 4 All

Hi all I have just got my self a new allotment, about 2 miles from my house, it is a full plot and costs £13.50 year.
There is no shed @ mo, we have a stream running part of the allotments.
Some of the other allotment holders have wells, as the is a water course little way down and there is also peat under the clay.
I don't have any pictures @ mo, but i am sure i will shortly.
I does need a lot of work but the soil seems to be very good

Iain

Congratulations. Is this your 1st plot?

Hope you have as much fun as we do!

Welcome, Iain!
You'll be the envy of a lot of us here if that stream means you have a constant supply of water!

Hi, iain, congrats on the new plot..enjoy !   ;D

Hi Iain, and welcome aboard... where abouts are you?

;D

I am in somerset

Hi Iain and welcome. Does that mean you have 3 allotments or this is your third one?  How excellent having a stream!!

A stream! What a luxury. How jealous is every other A4A member. My rent is £20 per year but I would pay more for that.

no it is my 3 rd allotment, IO don't think I could handle 3 in 1 go.
As well as the stream we have a water course so many of the  other lottie holders also a their own well.
Not bad for £13.50

You are so fortunate to have a water source close by. I bet you will be glad of that if there is a water shortage. I hope you get some pics soon. I was stationed in Yeovil when I was in the Army. Go to see a lot of Somerset. Lovely part of the country.

I am going to dig my own well soon.There seems to be plenty of water in the stream, bit u can never have enough water specially with this dry spell  ::)

The allotment is not doing very well @ the moment as been unable to go there this week due to work and the rain. When I last went it was about 2/3 foot high with weeds  ::)
I hope to go there over the weekend as I have four days off, I will have a few pictures that I will share with u all soon

I have postes some pictures.
take a look the basics
