Dear Plummpudding, you might have come up with a new business venture, Pig hire.

Thanks all, lots of great replies. Whatever route I take I can see that realistically I will only manage to open up a small patch for next season. All a bit academic now anyway as it has poured with rain for days and everything is soaked. I think that's the end of the allotment until next year now unless we get a dry spell and we don't get many of them in Aberdeen over the winter!

Dear Haggis, if your ground is waterlogged in winter raising the beds will help , and water will gravitate down to the paths, it can be done simply without extra expense, as in this link.http://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/node/73
