The only one who cuts the grass paths around my plot, then everyone walks past my plot to use the paths, to the extent if stepping over my legs while I'm weeding to avoid walking through the long grass. Grr! No-one else seems to use green manures either.

I have to say that on my plot I am the only one, I don't share my plot, its mine.
Apart from when the family visit to devour the produce, they remind me a lot of a swarm of locusts, when they descend all in their path beware...

I'm the one who says of anything they don't understand 'it's a trial, for Garden Organic'. Was saying it long before I actually worked there!
Now I just spin them out with my Gertrude beds and green manures and wait for them to copy me. I often turn up and my neighbour is explaining to one or other of the old boys precisely what I'm up to and why...first year that happened they all went home and came back with home made chilli and garlic spray and disgruntled wives.

Having thought about this thread while I was out in the bliss and silence of my space yesterday, I really want to take my hats off to those of you who are experiencing this "anti"-social gardening.
I started trying for proper gardening last year and really struggled to the point where I had to beat an organised retreat from the new area. It was only my farming experience and comments on The Vine that helped me see it as a positive (well less negative) experience. I cannot imagine how I would have felt if I had had to cope with some of your fellow plot holders. Keep up the good work, people, because I hope, when my two find their homes away from here they will be able to find growing areas if they want to where they can feel they belong.Last edited by marchogaeth; 11-04-2013, 10:43 AM."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."

What do you use the spray for Zaz?Originally posted by zazen999 View PostWhen weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.Comment

On my plot I'm the only crazy one who finishes work in a bad mood and so starts digging still in my work clothes!Comment

the one who takes the blame when things go pear shaped & the one who gets the praise on the very rare occasions things actually go to plan.He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

... one who doesn't care about planting in straight lines
... one who gives other plot holders jam and pickles (admittedly so that they will give me surplus fruit/veg to make more)
... one who sticks a few leeks/beetroot/dwarf beans in any empty corner of a bed.
It may not be pretty, but it is pretty productive.
