Hi MrDinkle & welcome to the vine

Have you Tried here?
Parks and Outdoor services - Allotment Information

[mrdinkle]

Thank You BubbleWrap, I should've thought of that! I have emailed NPT and am crossing my fingers and toes that they have something!

It will be a boon if they do as I am limited for space and I have big ideas

Have you tried your local Council, they usually have a list of Allotments with contact numbers.

I've emailed the council following reading the info that someone posted earlier.

I am waiting for a reply.

Thanks!

Apparently it could take them 8 working days to get back to me Ho Hum.

In a worst case scenario I have been offered a piece of lawn from a family member that I can convert to a plot - only trouble is (aside from the obvious drawbacks) it is about 15 miles away!

I have my fingers and toes firmly crossed.

... I have emailed NPT and am crossing my fingers and toes ...

1st thought was why has he e-mailed me and how did he know my initials

Like someone else said try Google maps or Google earth and look at the aerial photo's and see if you can spot any

The following is a list of allotment sites.

Moor Road Baglan
Crawford Road Baglan
Margam
Cwmavon
Glyncorrwg

Annual rate £23.15 / £16.80

There are waiting lists on each site if you want to added your name to the list please reply with full address & telephone number.

============

So no joy there. I have asked to be added to the list, although it appears that these sites are all at one end of the borough - eg. no where near me!

There is another option do you know of any elderly people who have a large garden they can't manage you could offer some veg in exchange for usage & they get their gardening done!

yup, will just have to make do for now, don't think the missus will allow me to dig up anymore of the lawn

You can't eat grass.

Very true.

I had a job persuading her that 2 small greenhouses (6 x 2) would be ok! I think it was only acceptable as I got them so cheap and she loves tomatoes!

Aside from that I have about 2m x 2m soil and I normally stick growbags and pots all down the path against the wall. However, The arrival of the greenhouses will mean that I am limited in my path/growbag allowance

I might take the inlaws up on their offer of a bit of their lawn.
