You'll have great fun making your plans.
VC - fish are hard to grow? There's a new wave (hehe) gardening where you grows the fish in tanks, with the plants growing in the fish water above................
And then there's the lady down the road who plants carp under her plants to see if that will help them grow. The carp are taking over our riverways so are not appreciated there.
Agree with the others tho - grow what you like and lots of it!Ali

Congratulations on the plot! I got mine about 2 months ago and I love it.
I was looking at the price of your allotments and ours are really expensive at £40 a year for 5 rods.
Have fun

Hi, and thanks, I think its what youo make of it that counts, fair enough alot of people are lucky and pay much less than you, or I. But its all about how worthwhile you make it!Originally posted by mistymornings View PostCongratulations on the plot! I got mine about 2 months ago and I love it.

Mine is 9 perch (not sure how many rods that is ????) and is £38 year and £12 for a brick shed.Originally posted by chris View PostThat size plot around me is less than £8, free in the second year if you improve it.
Full 10 rod plots are £15!
On my previous site, plots larger than 10 rod were £11 odd

OMG I'm toooooo late! I was going to tell you lot to stop carping about the prices!
And I think we've frightened off the original poster when we took this topic and went fishing down the river with it..........I'd say does anyone want any chips with their fish, but I've been a Macca's mum too long - so would ya like some fries with that?
