National Trust releases land for allotments
March 4, 2009
The National Trust in cooperation with Landshare has announced recently the release of land at many of their sites in the UK for people who want to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Landshare is a website set up by TV chef and personality Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall that enables people with land to offer it to people who want to grow their own veg. The idea started because of the lack of allotments in many of the UKs cities, and the growing trend for people to want to grow their own produce. The size of the land is equivalent to around 1000 allotment sites and will be available to individuals as well as communities.
The concept of ‘grow your own’ has taken mighty strides over the last few years with the governments push to eat 5 portions of fruit or vegetables a day. Many people have already converted part of their garden to growing veg and can tell the massive difference between the mass produced tasteless items the supermarkets sell and the taste of just picked home grown produce.
One of the key elements of growing your own is being able to do it on a budget so many things can be bought cheaply or obtained for free using promotional merchandise. Whatever the case, this form of gardening is growing in popularity and has many followers.
