rent of your plots does it cost a lottie

**muckdiva** · 02-04-2007, 01:07 PM

�5 for the year (used to be �1 not many years ago!) These plots are in rural Oxfordshire and have no facilities to speak of - I don't think there's even water available. I'm not sure if we're allowed a shed - don't seem to be any on the site, and no 'permanent' fruit trees (soft fruit is ok). Still glad to have one though as it's a 2 minute walk from my house.

Mine are �16.00 each for the year (i've got two) and they are about 9 x 17m each.

We have toilets and water available, you are allowed a shed but I can't afford one at the mo.

I pay �15 a year for half a plot. The site has toilet facilities, running water and we get regular deliveries of wood chipping, compost and manure, all included in the rent. We also have a common mower and rotavator that we can use and petrol is included as well. I personally don't think it's too bad.

�18 for a half plot; �36 for a full plot. Water tap around every 10 plots. Main grass tracks cut by council every month or so in summer. No other facilities or deliveries. Shed/greenhouses up to 6'x8' if prior permission sought.

�28 for 250m2 = 11.2p/m2.

Bex = 10.5p/m2

So mine is not the cheapest?

Formula is rent divided by area

�2.20 per pole at our allotment (we have a 10 pole) with water taps every 6 plots. A shop with reduced seeds / netts / compost etc. Toilet. free horse poo from a local horse riding school (you need to just put your name on a list and it appears at the end of your allotment - like a the poo fairy). general machines can be used (but they ask for a small donation to go to the local hospic).

�18 pounds for a half plot. approx 10m x15m.

**Hans Mum** · 02-04-2007, 02:20 PM

�25 for full plot, water & communal rotavator/lawnmower/tools/etc just pay �1 a time for petrol on the power tools and like MD its only a 2min walk from home

Ours are council run, and we pay �36 pa full price or �18 for concessions. We have water and a skip for rubbish (no bonfires allowed

)
Not a bad price really, less than �1 per week.

Silverfox - not sure I like the idea of a poo fairy

Just imagine the mess if the poo fairy & the tooth fairy job-swapped!

**madderbat** · 02-04-2007, 02:59 PM

I wish we had a poo fairy! We have to either pay �20 for a load or go and fetch for free in our car. Magic for nothing sounds wonderful.

Ours is �78 per annum, might be the highest in the north east.
All the best

So.... you all get gold plated forks or what Fred? Seems a bit on the high side!

**skegblade** · 02-04-2007, 03:47 PM

The site I'm on is run by the town council and costs �35 per annum. We have water from Easter to October. We have water from spring to autumn, but no fires.
