If you fancy keeping chickens...
I've been bitten. Bitten by a bug that has also sunk it's nashers into almost half a million innocent and naive chicken owners and chicken-owners-to-be across the whole of the UK. I've found these owners will tolerate anything of their little feathered flower bed destroyers...

Hidden in the borders of our new car-park "allotment" and amongst the brambles i found this pretty blue flower. The leaves are like comfrey and the flowers are like forget-me-nots only slightly bigger so its not surprising that when i did an internet search i found it was a member of the borage and...

Council Estate of Mind

Anyone from the Bath or Bristol Area?
Hi, I am hoping to find some land which I can share with other, I am not a expert gardener but I am happy to graft! for the reward of fruit and veg! Does anyone need any help in my local area? Thanks, Jess Read More
Found land but don't know what to do?
Hi I've been a member for some time on the landshare site and have applied and applied for land share without success.
Today I was out walikng the dogs with my daughter and we went to a local park that backs on to a railway line which is at the bottom of a steep embankment and fenced off.
When I entered the park I noticed that half of the park that backs on to the enbankment has been fenced off obviously to stop the local youths from gaining access to the tracks.
This land from what I can see is laying empty and is a prime bit of land to turn into Allotments. However I am not sure if the land is owned by the council or rail? I suspect Council though.
Anyway How do I go about finding out
1. Who owns the land
2. How I could approach the owners i'e the council
3. Apply to have the land donated for allotments
4. If they refuse how do I put preasure on them to donate
5. If they are planning to use the land for comunity allotments as I saw a plaque stating comunity orchard in the park area itself, Will that affect the land use for other people wanting vegitable plots who pay council tax as it seems that if you work and pay you get nothing..
I would love to do something not only for myself but also for my local community which is something the local council and councilors don't seem to be doing.
Any advice would be welcomed.
Cheers Bill

best weed killer
I have been offered an area of land approx 33m x 25m which is totally over grown, I was thinking before I do any clearance of rubble / rubbish that is hidden threw the grass / brambles and nettles, I would spray it with a complete herbicide, which one would be best to use, to give me a total kill of all vegetation, but still allow me to plant on it once I have cleared and ploughed / rotatvated it?

Plot of Land Required
Firstly thanks for reading.
I am in search of either a full size allotment for the sole use of growing veg i am not too fussy if this requires a good old tidy up due to being left dormant for some time and would look to be using a raised bed system.
If you require someone to share your plot with you then i would gratefull as this would be a great way for us to grow large amounts with minimal waste.
I have a 2 year old 6x8 shed that could used if needed along with a polycarbonate 6x4 greenhouse for early seed sowing or even tomatoe growing.
I am in a postion thanks to my job of being able to have huge discount from travis perkins builders merchants and in some cases as much as 70% for timber which is valuable when making raised beds.
I also have my own 4x3 trailer which is a bonus for the horse manure run and this is helped by the use of my company car which has minimal fuel costs.
I also have recently purchased the new Mantis Deluxe Tiller with all the attachments for ploughing,planting,dethatching etc which we could use.
If you feel i could be an asset then please contact at your earliest convenience. Read More

Permaculture garden designer on the search for a space to grow organic edibles
I am a self employed garden designer who works with Permaculture principles, living in Camden and working in the surrounding areas. I am studying for my permaculture diploma with the Permaculture Association. I am currently living in a flat with no garden, and as a garden designer, I am a keen grower, and would really love a little space to grow some salads, herbs, fruit and vegetables. I do not require a lot of room, after all it's not how much space you have that is important, it is how you make the most productive use of it. If anyone has any land that they would like to contribute then please do get in touch. Also, if anyone would like the services of a permaculture garden designer, then I would happily come and have a look at your garden and design a productive, environmentally friendly, edible and beautiful space. Thanks!

Keen Gardeners On Land Search
Hello, I am trying to find a relatively small plot of land, not only for myself, but I have a son who also likes to garden. He likes to garden and will probably be over there more than me, but he is very responsible.
We both want something that is going to keep us busy. We don't mind a plot with weeds, as long as they haven't got to firm a grip in the land. Relatively good quality soil would be good, but not a necessity, as long as it isn't water-logged. It would be nice if it got a good amount of sun during the growing season, or even partial shade.
Size wise, anything up to 10x10 would be fine. Also, I wouldn't mind sharing it with another keen grower. Read More
