So Nobby, how long have you had your lotti?  Art

Nobs have you got that DVD "The Allotment"?  Much of the "action" (tee hee) takes place on plots in Bristol.  You might see yours on there

Not a lot of "action" on my lottie I can asure you Wardy!!

Since November Art!!!

But only really started working the plot this spring!!

Yes Dibberxxx

Apparently there is a lottie off Naggs Head Hill which does the same and we can join!!

I have an allotment on Talbot Rd site.  Had it since Oct 2004, so still ploughing through the weeds - but things are growing.  Hope you get one soon Dibber.  We were lucky they were getting snapped up pretty quickly.  It's  a great site to be at as they're spending lots of money on improving the site (partly funded by the nearby hospital being built).  Up at our end (the chalet sites - ooh posh or what?), they have planted lots of fruit trees and plonked a couple of picnic tables to encourage the community feel.

We get occassional visits from the older allotment holders with their tips (usually helpful).  We have pretty terrible soil (heavy clay) which may be in due down to the rumour that the builders who renovated the site half-inched a lot of the top-soil.  Lots of us have opted for raised beds with added compost to give the plants a chance at least until we have a chance to work the soil properly.

We did recently have a delivery of fantastic manure (dumped right on our allotment - the luxury), so that's helping.

I will be looking for lots of tips from the experienced allotment holders on here, and good luck Dibber hope you get your site soon.

Incidentally there are a couple of chalet sites that don't look like anyone is working them (weed infested - grr), perhaps it's worth hassling some more?

wow!!

Luky you - sounds a kool site!!
