Get Fit with an Allotment:

"It's like having a multi-gym in your garden" - Kevin West

Recently the increasing trend in owning an allotment has been in the local and national press and on the radio. This week is National Allotment Week! Exciting stuff.

Allotments hit their peak in the Second World War at 1.4 million in the 'dig for victory' campaign. There are currently 100,000 people on allotment waiting lists andmore locally, allotment waiting lists in Glouecstershire can be up to 5 years.


The article interestingly cites that many 12 year olds are unable to identify a turnip, which I thought was both a funny and disturbing fact.

"Convenience Culture" ruining our ability to grow our own grub, you decide, but in the meantime to register for your own allotment you can go to the channel 4 website http://landshare.channel4.com/
