I got my allotment in November 2024 after discovering I would have a six year wait for a local authority allotment anywhere near me.I've been amazed by how friendly and helpful everyone is - no tut tutting about how to do things, just mutual support and helpful suggestions. And lots of helping each other with watering etc.There is such a variety of different people on the site and having so much provided - from compost and manure to tools and workshops - has got me off to a great start. I've never grown any fruit or veg before and really didn't know where to start but have so enjoyed just trying things out.I see negative comments about how can we grow anything on the thin layer of compost but I have so much I'm giving it away - carrots, potatoes, peas, strawberries, chard, courgettes, salad, fennel...I could go on.But most of all, the allotment has become a place I can escape my worries and lose myself. I've had an incredibly difficult couple of years and this place has become a kind of sanctuary for me.So please be encouraged Roots Allotments team - you are doing wonders for your members. Thank you.
