the things you find!

[rog_pete]

having been doing lots of work over the last 3 months since getting the lotty I have a list of things uncovered in the mess

2 x spades
1 x digging fork
1 x very large crown of rhubarb - now repositioned and growing great
enough black plastic sheeting to cover 60m sq
enough bricks to build a small house
enough scrap metal to weigh in and prob pay for the plot for the year too

and over the last 2 weeks i thought the weeds were coming up (well they are) but there are several clumps of comfrey sprouting, so I am most impressed!!

and I am loving it!! muck muck muck

Have you found the glass mine yet?  :-X

[davyw1]

You have to have glass its compulsory, everyone has self germinating glass

[rog_pete]

oh i forgot to say about the glass factory... i am still digging for it! and there seems to be a timber mill burried under the shed too!

[davyw1]

no dog bones yet and i don,t mean what the dog buried, i mean the buried dog type

Wait till you find your predecessor's missing wife.

I have found the usual stuff but also 4 kids action figures that were buried quite deeply in the soil.
I wonder if a little one "hid " them and then forgot they were.
they are the older sytle ones made of that harder plastic so have survived quite well.

[rog_pete]

no not yet! but i will not hold my breath, having said that have dug over over half of the plot and nothing scary found yet!

do dead bodies ever pop up? like real human ones lol

oh and how much fricking carpet do I keep digging up... it rots well too, horrid stuff!

[w00dy]

Here here on the glass front, im rather convinced that the previous plot owner was adding glass convinced it was some kind of soil conditioner.

If they do then the police come & dig your plot over free of charge.

Carpet & plastic sheet which has broken down into millions of tiny pieces are about the worst things I have. As soon as you've finished digging your plot over the stones & bricks will start reproducing rapidly too.

[Normylass]

We found.......
a whole shower complete with the tray
a complete bike including bell all buried
a bed which had been burnt
concrete
oil cans
paint cans
old tools
medicine bottles
and not forgetting the buried horse bones/chicken bones
oh and glass  ;D

I bet someone's put a corpse into an allotment at some point. If they put it in deep it would be unlikely to be found, and regular digging would soon hide all evidence.

I'd have gotten away with it to if it wasn't for them pesky kids!

Have you found the glass mine yet?  :-X

                  When I took over  our lotty I started to dig up glass and more glass and even more, when I made enquiries it appears that one previous tenant buried all the glass from a greenhouse, Prick!!, ;D

[cornykev]

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D   @   Javahart, but back to Mr Brenchley, is there anything we need to know.   :o     ;D ;D ;D

[flitwickone]

all ive found is a 2foot lenth of rope :'(  as for burying glass what a numbnut :o he must have been

[asbean]

Transferring the well-rotted compost from one of my daleks to the plot I found (right at the bottom) the kitchen scissors I lost a couple of years ago!

[amphibian]

I've found some lovely things among the junk, my favourite is a pair of Saxon bone pins. Their identical but found some time apart.

[rog_pete]

excellent replies... it is amazing what is found!

but what kind of a plonker buries green house glass?  I have made several trips to the tip already with bags of the stuff! got to get rid of it before the chucks are bought

maybe I need to get a metal detector next!!
