ALLOTMENTS used to be a haven for the older generation, the Arthur Fowler set who grew up in an age of austerity when growing your own produce meant the difference between a meal on the table at the end of the day or not. But now, when space is so often at a premium, a much wider range of peo­ ple are tapping into allotments to escape modern pressures and grow their own food organically in the com­ pany of like-minded gardeners. '"These days, urban allotments are


just as likely to sport barbecue sites, wildlife sanctuaries, heritage seed col­ lections, forest gardens, sculpture, beehives and ponds as once-derided rows of yellowing Brussels sprouts," says award-winning garden writer and allotment owner Andi Clevely, author of a new practical guide; “The Allotment Book.”' "Allotments are an environmental


asset, both for wildlife and for the health and well-being of plot-holders and they add texture to lives and communities." Allotments can cost anything from


£6 to £50 per year for a plot of about 9m by 6m (30ft by 20ft). Many are available through local authorities as most are council-owned, although some are privately owned by churches or public utilities. Chat to existing tenants to glean more information. Before renting a plot, assess its pros

and cons and scope for change. You may be landed with a site which is completely overgrown and has not been tended for ages, which is fine if you have plenty of time to clear it and start again. Other plots may be still partly planted up and in good


.working order. The most important thing is to


examine the soil - buy a soil testing kit to assess its acidity and pick up a handful to find out if it is heavy or light. Thin, pale soils can be relative-


ly infertile, while organic soils which are often dark, crumbly and 'peaty' will need careful Water and nutrient management. Also find out if it drains wells by


digging a hole around 18in (45cm) square and deep. Empty two buckets of water into the hole and if it disap­ pears quickly or steadily, drainage should be fine. If not, you may have to add organic material to cure the problem or create slightly raised beds to provide extra drained soil.

AS well as being famous for chocolate eggs, Easter week­ end is renowned for being the busiest - and possibly most dangerous - DIY weekend in the domestic calendar. But with more than 200,000 DIY enthusiasts turning up at hos­ pital each year, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is urging people to be more realistic


about their abilities and to call in an expert if they find a job is too much. A job which involves work­

does it slope and if so, in which direc­ tion? This can affect temperature and the amount ,of sunshine it receives. Is it on low ground in a frost pocket? If so, you'll have to take pre­ cautions to warm up the soil before planting. Check out access to the plot. Are the paths wide enough to take a wheelbarrow and do they pro­ vide a direct route to regularly used places like the shed, compost bin and access road?


African journey The meeting of Bashall Eaves WI was presided over by Mrs Jane Spurgeon. Guest speaker was Miss Bridgett Hart­ ley, of Leeds Univer­ sity, who gave a fasci­ nating insight into life in Zambia, where she spent three months during her gap year as part of the Young Farmers' Discovery Pro- gramme.


She lived in Choma, on a 10,000-acre farm with the family of a white farmer who owned a game reserve where gazelle, zebra and other native animals roamed freely with the local cattle.
