I'm currently begging freecycle for a shed - the allotment's 20 minutes walk away, I have no car, so I'm really limited in what I can take up there. There's also the peeing thing - compost bin's to tall to squat over
As for sheds being a "bloke thing" - pish and tosh! Half the reason I got a lottie was because it was an excuse to get a shed, and last time I checked I was most definitely not a bloke. :P
