Everyone I’ve met so far keeps saying how gnarly they considered my plot to be and think people may have been turning it down. If I was still doing tree work I could have had my plot blasted over and clear ready to start digging out in less than a day.
I don’t think it’s proven that bad so far but the number of bramble stumps and quantity of broken down plastic is depressing.
Some of the plots have massive fully overgrown fruit trees all over them which realistically would cost thousands per plot to fell and grind out without damaging neighbouring plots in the process. Some just look like a solid patch of bramble with nothing else which I presume are the ones that were ploughed years ago but never occupied.
I’m lucky in that my trees aren’t too big/dense and are right at the back of the plot.
