Allotment waiting lists
This is an old saying and not in fact a post about shoes owned by a dead man
I would like to rent an allotment and have contacted a few local sites to be told it's on average 10-15 years waiting list - hence the dead mans shoes reference, as they don't appear to become available very often
I'm not sure in 10-15 years I'll be able to do the hard labour required when you own an allotment so wanted to ask if anyone knew or a quicker solution?
In the meantime I will be putting my name down and putting my feet up for a decade or so...

Its sometimes worth becoming friendly with the allotment secretary/ chairperson and asking if there are any tenants who are older who would appreciate some help in return for letting you have a piece of their plot. There are benefits to this, apart from helping someone you make connections and gain knowledge in how to grow. If you get on well 'sharing' a plot then it is possible over time to make this official. Some allotments are more amenable to this than others.

Volunteer with The Conservation Volunteers? They have lots of community food growing projects around London which you could get involved with - great for building your skills/knowledge base if you're new to gardening/food growing. You could also try the food growing projects at the climbing centre on green lanes or the London Grown project at wolves lane.
