Allotment innovation!

Bob (he's the man to ask!) Christian has supplied us with a few ideas and pictures for the allotment. Firstly, here are the compost bins, critical for ecological purposes, and central to the idea of re-cycling. These are the ones that Bob has made, and we'll have something similar soon in our own allotment:

Secondly, here is a picture of a cluster bomb casing from Laos (!) that was being used as a raised onion bed, so that wild pigs can't reach them. Not sure if we can get hold of any old bomb casings, or how many wild pigs we have at the allotment (?), but the raised/elevated bed system is interesting:

Finally, here is a picture of a couple of other things that we may be able to integrate into our allotment; firstly, on the left, two old brushes nailed down that can be used as a boot cleaner, and on the right, a welly puller...both essential I think with the weather that we have been having recently.
