Keeping chickens

Good Afternoon

Is there any chance of having a monthly article in your magazine giving advice on keeping chickens in the back garden of allotment.

Re: Pea shoots to eat

I buy the dried peas marked Bigga. I think they are the big marrowfat peas. I scatter sow them in a normal seed tray and after a few days signs of life appear. I let them grow to about 2 inches before cutting. Generally I cut about three times from each sowing so well worth trying.

Re: new kitchen garden member needs advice

This is a brilliant topic. Being a newcomer to allotmenteering and for a variety of reasons as can be seen in my diary, I almost took the route of hiring a rotovater but now having read this I shall get out the spade and get to work. A coffee break, every two row, sounds a good plan I think.

Re: Great Yorkshire Show

Such a shame. I hope next weeks Tatton Park still goes ahead as my tickets came yesterday. Does anyone know if KG will have a presence their?

Re: Positive things here - come on 1 each from all of you

hampsterhead. Hope you have years of enjoyment ahead of you, just one thought, don't overdo the digging on your first day. I'm looking foward to it although I've not been able to do any digging yet as the previous owner decided to have a fire and burnt down one of his sheds which contained asbestos...

Re: Positive things here - come on 1 each from all of you

I've been assigned an allotment and getting excited, (it doesn't take much these days :D )
