  • Where the hell are all these free/empty plots?! Not in London I assume, the list here in Waltham Forest seems to be decades long

  • there were 20 free plots when I looked round mine (Merton council), think a lot of people that got them during covid have lost interest and are now too busy.

    Just got the agreement signed and paid up my fees

    Any tips for doing an allotment without a car appreciated - maybe its a sign to get a cargo bike

  • I’m in Waltham Forest and off the top of my head there’s at least 4 abandoned/underused plots on my site alone that really should be reallocated to people that are prepared to put the work in. One is the plot opposite that I’ve moaned about at length on here, 2 other ‘Santa’ plots and one that no one wants as it’s got 3 massive apple trees that have completely taken over the whole plot and would need felling, stumps ground out and a mini digger to drag the roots out.
    They keep trying to fob that one off on people with no gardening experience which seems particularly twatty.

    We do have a car but 99% of our allotment needs are taken care of with the b.o.b trailer :)
