Our area has a chance to set up allotment gardens and I'd like to get advice from people who could steer us in good directions. I have some questions about topics we have already thought of and would also welcome thoughts on things we forgot to ask :-). Information on your area's set up as well as any changes you might prefer would be helpful. 1. What is the usual size of your allotment garden? 2. Is there an annual fee? If so how much? 3. What sort of sign up process do you have? How do you manage your waiting lists? 4. How do people access water for their garden? 5. What sort of events do you have each year for the gardeners (educational, social, competitive)? 6. What sort of rules do you have for the use of the allotment plot? 7. Is there an area where people can get compost or mulch? If so, how is this created? Sharon gordonse@one.net
