Project

[Glutton4...]

Go for it. Especially if you can get it for nothing. Plant your tatties, then, after harvesting them, bung it full of chickens, and they'll do the digging and weed removal - and they'll love it!

If you want a project, and you'll enjoy it, why not? It sounds a great challenge. As for having to give up in a few years - you'll be leaving behind something wonderful for someone else to enjoy. I think that's a great legacy. I will have to give mine up when we eventually move and I'd like to think that the person coming after will enjoy walking into a plot that can be worked straight off.

Go for it. Alright you will give it up in 3 years but 3 years is a bit away.

You've got a 'decking' area (for sunbathing I assume ) and potatoes - what is the down side?!

That's what I thought when I left mine behind but got a bit of a shock a year later when I revisited the site. I think they had taken up growing weeds.

Oh yes...........one HUGE decking area!

I've just had another look at the plot in question tonight. Its triangular, and in total area is about the same as my two old plots! I reckon it will get the sun all day long. The only down side is its an end plot surrounded by woodland on North side which could be prone to trespassing/vandalism?

I would find some nice prickly brambles and plant them along the woodland edge. Nice crop of fruit in summer, impenetrable barrier the rest of the time. What's not to like! You just need to be firm with them when they start growing inwards.

I think you have your mind made up Snadge and are looking for us to change it for you...

So..Go.For.It
