Try making £17k a year with three kids and see how easy it is to go local, seasonal, vegetarian and organic.
Can be/is done - we did local, seasonal, vegetarian and organic out of financial necessity with 3 kids on what my ex wife called a "school leavers wage".
Allotment + imagination + resourcefulness + wanting to do it in the first place.
When do I factor in this on my 8 hour day and 2 hour commute?
It depends on how willing you want to.
After a fulfilling 8 hour day at work and a 2 hour commute you may welcome the sanctuary of a 'quaint' allotment.
