Hello, we are not far away, Clackmannanshire, enjoy this forum, we used to have an allotment but found it hard to dig and get it all ready for veg, anyway, I just grow some herbs and have three chickens (that's all) I would love more and have room for them but need another shed if I have anymore, welcome anyway...Sandy

Hi Martin

I just registered and logged on, read your posting, was wondering if you had , had any luck on getting small area to grow veg etc. Sustain the larder. My partner has a area of land, which he uses only a small area of for his horses. there are parts that would be suitable for you to grow on, also chickens would not be a problem either, as long as you had your own hen coup. The land is 2mins in a car from Armadale town centre. if walking its a brisk 20min walk......There is manure in abundance...... We would ask for a share of the produce, let me know if you are interested.

Who needs Hugh - we have our own landshare going on

No-one has come forward to share a bit of my front garden yet, so am starting with one raised bed near the compost bin and round the corner from my fruit bed. If anyone wants to come and have a look with a view to landshare I'm in Clacks, PM me.
