The most amazing allotment

[Currysniffa]

I just had to post this link as this chap has the most amazing allotment I have ever seen. Are you out there on the vine George?

YouTube - Raised Bed Allotment July 2009

You've got to respect the amount of work that's obviously gone into it. I don't think I could ever achieve this level of organisation (this side of retirement) but really like the modular approach he has used and am definately gonna build me some little greenhouses

I've seen the youtube film of Georges lottie before, he's very well organised isn't he.

I've spent a few hours looking at lotties on youtube sad I know but I don't care

Not only is it well organised it has cost a fortune as well.

I would love to know what the cost of setting it up was. And what a marvellous scouse accent he sports.

Yea I saw this last year when I was looking for tips on my first year of growing.

My only thoughts were it must've taken him ages to put all them bricks down, lol.

Not the most cost effective allotment by a long shot I'm sure.

Think I'll just shut up for now in case I dig a bigger hole for myself!

Q: what gets bigger, the more you take away?

My take away doen't get bigger the more I eat of it!

There was one small lotty patch, from someone here whos I thought was really nice. That person had the land bought by someone, and was forced to move off it - posted here obviously upset. It had golden chippings all around it, I think a small greenhouse and raised beds iirc.. Been trying to find it since to have a look again!

Still preferred the one I was on about above It was sort of in a town / village centre I think!

Edit, althought that is nice looking like.. I'm still torn between none edged beds, and edged, everytime I see ones like this I think ooh, I'll do that. Then I look at SS's allotment with the no dig method, and her lack of slug problems at the time etc and think ooh that's a good idea

Easily influenced I think!
