Allotment Diaries Podcast

EP.49 | Laura and Chay talk about the use of Polytunnels, Plastic Pots, Carpets, Tarps and Tyres on an allotment site.

Amy & Chay

In this episode, Laura and Chay chat about what they've been up to on their allotment plots lately (spoiler: not all of it involves growing vegetables). 

They dig into the hot topic of Polytunnels, Plastic Pots, Carpets, Tarps, and Tyres – the "go-to" materials for many allotment holders... or is it just lazy gardening? Laura and Chay debate the environmental impact of these materials while trying not to lose their minds over the sheer number of “weird things” people put in their plots.  

Plus, they remind you that not all allotment rules are the same, so don’t be the person that gets kicked off the plot for using a roll top bath as a planter!
