              Oh wow...is it a temporary solution or a fixed one? I guess if there are allotments there will be a waiting list.

                Middle of Bridport, think the place might collapse if we did, worried about the way the floor slopes :yikes:

                A fixed one for now :)

                There are quite a few allotments in town, but i'm gonna see if I can carry on using the plot here at the weekends

                  oh dear, let's hope it doesn't collapse! :huh: But good to know you are in Bridport, it is a lovely village plus you are close to shops etc compared to before.

                    I was wrong, there is a communal garden for the flats :)

                    Just didn't know it was round the back... DSCN1081.JPG

                      [​IMG] So...some good news with some bad news! Wow, looks like a
                      major undertaking. Are you up for it? I guess it requires filling lots of skips...would the other residents help pay for it if they knew they would be getting a garden?

                        That's not at all nice Ziggy. Is the area big enough to actually create a garden in?

                        Think our Ziggy would create a garden in a teacup, Jenny, if that is all that was available ;)

                          Shouldn't the company who have the service agreement for the flats be clearing this? I bet there's an element of the maintenance fee which covers outside space

                              Nah, leave it outside. You could grow some decent spuds in that bathtub.

                              There's also an old plastic dustbin (and lid), you could probably make some lovely leaf mould or compost in that.
                              And see that old upturned laundry basket in the corner? :ideaIPB: Stick a plastic bag over it and you've got a cloche or a propagator.

                              You need to get creative Zigs. :snork:
