The thing is........what do you get an allotment for? Answer has to be to grow stuff in! And the quicker the better!

I am an allotment Secretary and we have people on our waiting list who would love to 'get stuck in' and grow veg.
I personally wouldn't be too happy if we let an allotment and the rentee came one day, covered it with black membrane and said " Ok you lot, I'll see you all in March!"eek:
To rent an allotment you need to show a certain level of comittment and realise that others on the waiting list would be chomping at the bit to get started cultivating there plot and growing veg.

Sorry all, I seem to be turning into a GRUMPY OLD GIT!

Rant over!
