Where to advertise and how much

[chickenboy78]

(first posting, so please be gentle if i've made any beginner errors!)

My mother wants to rent out her vegetable patch (plus greenhouse + shed) as an allotment - to somehow who has the time to look after it and will get something back from it.

Any good sites? I found rentmygarden (.) co (.) uk but it doesn't seem to have many listings... Any better sites?

Also, any idea of what she should expect/ask (£/mn or £/yr).
Its in rural Essex. It has a raised bed of 2 x 10m, plus greenhouse, shed, plus south facing wall with 0.5m x 20m beds at the bottom. With well established raspberries, tayberries and mint.

? (sadly the height of my gardening glory is potatoes) So no idea what she should ask for or how to advertise.

Landshare. If you are happy to take produce instead of fees.

Get stuck in chickenboy & heighten your gardening glories even further.........you're in the right place for any info you may need regarding growing.

You'd find a hell of a lot more people willing to swap produce, rather than pay for land.. A lot more places will support this sort of ethos (being sharing, caring etc - rather than making profit). If your mother is happy with that arrangement, then I'd try landshare as above, and then send a tweet to the "big names" to get some possible retweets.

Failing that, approach your local allotment sites and see if they have a waiting list - if they do you might find someone on the list that is that desperate to get their hands on some land to grow their own food they'll pay you rather than the allotment If you do go down that route, you probably want to get some sort of agreement drawn up between both parties.
