As a keen, although not always active gardener, I put my name on my local Council's waiting list for an allotment thinking I might get one in time for my retirement. Much to my surprise, I acquired my plot on the outskirts of South London on 20th May 2022, just over 6 months later.
The allotment is 50sq m, is a 5 minute walk from my home and with my husband's generous support and much to our surprise has supplied most of our vegetable needs for most of the year.
We are so pleased with our efforts we have taken on the neighbouring plot which is heavily overgrown with brambles, bindweed and couch grass in the hope of growing our own fruit. I have every confidence of what we can achieve with no dig.
The photo shows our original plot i summer 2023, all achieved with no dig of course.
