Best/worst/weirdest thing ever found on an allotment

[ldsau93]

just for fun....

I found on my allotment:

Best: 200 sq. metres of beautiful, stone free soil
Worst: 200 sq. metres of bramble/weeds/dug in plastic sheeting/rusty metal. Inhabited by Sloe worms that give me the jeebies.
Weirdest: Front wheel from an industrial road-roller

Plus: The area I'm in was heavily bombed during WWII. I keep thinking (during heavy digging sessions) that i'm going to come across a hitherto undiscovered unexploded bomb.... (though if it did go off it would save a job digging all of that clay...)

Best- a greenhouse and shed

Worst- several piles of human poo

Weirdest - a really, really old and large tree trunk which was slowly emerging from the peat bog beneath ( yup, waaay to big to remove and smack in the middle of the main beds.)

Having only recently taken over mine and managed to clear the 2-3 ft high weeds I found

Worst - pop bottles containing human urine, poo disposal bags containing poo of unknown variety, a large dead something (I turned away when the helper on the plot held it up by one end and said 'this has been dead some time!'), a wasp nest in the shed...

Best - a shed, a front door with a number (entry to the plot), three garden chairs, five baths, fruit trees, a rhubarb patch, honeysuckle, a rosemary bush, a 12 ft long raised wooden bed and a metal safe which will be turned into a table/storage unit.

It was a great few weeks finding something new every time a few more feet of plot were cleared of weeds.

Now my 'treasures' are popped over the privet by my neighbours and I'm doing rather well with those too!

Worst - Previous occupier had cleaned up and put all the weeds in carrier bags. These were then tossed on the compost heap. Over a couple of years they broke down and pulling bits of fragmented plastic out was a job I really didn't enjoy. Plastic of all sorts about the plot (pots, labels, toys, chairs, bags, torn netting etc). I hate plasic in my soil.
Best - We got 5 huge rhubarb crowns, two goosberry bushes and a dozen or so raspberry canes.

This thread made me laugh as my lottie neighbour has just unearthed
.....1/2lb of Country life butter from his plot. 8 inches down as he dug up couch grass! It smelt 100% ok .
Some animal has expensive taste.
