Deciding to get an Allotment

Allotments can be great for people who love gardening. They can give you the chance to grow lots of new things and to experiment more than you would be able to in your garden. Often, they are a really decent size so you will be able to do a lot with the land. Here are some questions to ask yourself if you are trying to decide whether to get an allotment:

 

  • Do you have the time to dedicate to it? Building your allotment up can take a lot of work so you should be prepared.
  • Are you already a keen gardener? If you are, this can be a great way to further your hobby. It can be more difficult for beginners.
  • How far away would it be? If the allotment is too far, will you really be able to manage it?
  • Do you mind going out in all kinds of weather? Keeping an allotment isn’t for someone who doesn’t like rain or wind.
