The allotment queue...

It has been reported today that 150,000 people in the UK are waiting for an allotment. For those outside the UK an allotment is a piece of land you rent from your local council or in my case church on which you can grow your own vegetables. I know from the large allotment site down the road from me that allotments are more popular than ever before as the unused plots on that site have shrunk to zero over the years. So a scheme called garden share already setup in some counties of the UK which encourages those with gardens who don't have the time/knowledge to use that space to grow vegetables to share them with those waiting for a plot is going to be rolled out nationwide. It sounds like a great idea.
