I suppose I had better buy a freezer.

    Half an allotment seems to be rather productive.

        We got an extra freezer for our allotment produce. It's in the garage which is unheated, there is less choice of freezers for that situation. We got a Beko.

          We're running three upright freezers, at which point I had to learn to bottle and dehydrate stuff :biggrin:

            I'll be either using an old chest freezer ("Iceland Kyoto"), which will go in my larger workshop and help keep it warm, or (quite likely) an upright (used) to conserve valuable floor space. The place is fairly well insulated, but cold may be a factor. The chest freezerI'm thinging of has been very successful in an unheated draughty outbuilding, despite what people say about putting freezers in such places, so hopefully something will be OK in my insulated and draught proof place. "Gloom". Another increase to the 'leccy bill as well as paying rent, set-up costs for enviromesh, 1/2" chicken wire etc.
