Getting new allotments

[alldigging]

LetsGrow | Landshare - connecting growers to people with land to share.

Just seen this tool on landshare site.
it helps you find local people who also want allotments -

Anyone used it?

I can see there are quite a few groups at the moment near me but only one with 6 people in.

I contacted them when I had plots available at the allotments I manage, one plot was large and suitable for three or more people.
I'm not sure whether I got a reply from Land Share but did hear from the Kindling Trust (perhaps they are somehow connected) who offered to advertise my allotments through their links on Twitter and Facebook (which I try to avoid).
I only heard from one person living locally who got to know about my offers but have never had any enquiries in the 7 months since.

Do you not have a huge waiting list?

Kindling trust is local to Manchester as AFAIK not to do with Landshare.

I put a card up in the local (really really local) supermarket when we wanted a waiting list - got someone that way too! And I have done a couple of leaflet drops around nearby streets.
