Allotments

Allotments

If you want to be green - get an allotment.

• Great food - grow the varieties that taste great. (Commercial farmers grow for transport, for looks, for ability to ripen all at the time. Taste is poor 4th).
• No food miles.
• Organic (if you like).
• Ultra fresh.
• Save money. Allotments cost pennies a week.
• Kudos with your friends (because unless you are a big family, you'll have plenty to spare).

No hard work :-

• Allotments needn't mean heavy duty gardening - raspberries, blackcurrants, bush crops, herbs can all pretty much look after themselves if grown through a weed barrier fabric. (Home made summer pudding freezes really well, so long as you don't include strawberries, and nearly any fruit can be used to make fruit vodka - like Sloe Gin but much much nicer).

Known allotments - links that go to their page or somewhere who should be able to help. Add more as Comments.

Gloucester Guy Blogs his Allotment experience - read and be inspired.

Idea for Schools/Youth Groups - rent an allotment and have pupils look after it, and enjoy the produce.
