truman Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 there are loads of unrented allotments in sheffield-they just need clearing after decades of allotmenteering being unfashionable. they are overgrown and full of rubbish!!! people don't realise how much hard work is involved especially to start with. and so chemist how long have you been on the waiting list or have you got one? He was offered the use of someone's garden in a previous thread but turned it down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 EVERYONE should be able to grow their own food and I didn't think there was any restrictions other than space and this is why allotments where introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S10mainly Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 here chemist perfect job for you (maybe you'd be so tired by working on the land you'd stop winging on here) http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1074459 (but would it be fair to them:() Surprising that something so easy as growing food needs a co-ordinator....Oh hang on; maybe its not just a case of planting the seeds and wating for a bounteous crop?

regatta Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 There are plenty of Pensioners who would let you use their gardens as they find them difficult to handle anymore, I reckon if you gave them a decent share of what you have grown, it would be benificial to both parties.

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 They should be allowed to spend one day a week growing their food (on land which Chem1st would allow them to use.) For the remainder of the week they should work their masters' land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should be able to use land for themselves. They shouldn't have to pay a tithe to idle owners of land. If lots of pensioners have land they don't use, and lots of young people want land, then it is apparent the land ownership/tenure system in this country broken.

chem1st Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 or the people who want land are too idle to look. http://www.landshare.net/ If your working on somebody else's land they should be paying you minimum wage. If somebody is too idle to use land but happy to share it, they should just give it up in the first place. They need to be taxed to incentivise them to do so.

I'm on about an OAP that can't make use of his/her back garden, not a topic that should be appearing on Country File. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
