LanceOrganic Team founded

It started when I found out about the transistion movement and started helping out on our community allotment. Then I created 3 veg patches in our garden. Now I have just got my OWN allotment and today I start to take over the world... Hang on that's not quite right.

A few good friends have offered to lend me a hand clearing my allotment and another jokingly challenged me to clear her nettles and one small thought lead to another so I have decided that it would be a great idea if we help each other out by getting together and take turns improving all our gardens. We may even be able to help you grow your own FREE food.

So with that in mind, I have set up my own Facebook page so people can see what I'm up to and offer to join in. If your interested, have a look at my LanceOrganic page on Facebook.

So Excited - Day 1 of my 1st allotment

It’s been a while since I was this excited. Having waited a year and a half to get a plot on my local allotment today was the day I got to choose my plot and get the key. I've been on a high all day and to be honest I'm not quite sure why. That is because it’s more of a wood than an allotment plot and will take many months of hard graft just to make it usable. Perhaps it’s just the potential it has. A blank slate that I can make my own just as I want it.

So what’s the dream: It’s got to be organic. No power tools or machinery. Fully self sufficient using as many natural materials as possible. I hate those plots that look plastic than plant so I will be reclaiming as must wood as I can when I clear and will hopefully end up with a nice rustic retreat where I can enjoy getting my hands mucky, working up a good sweat and then sit and enjoy a beer surveying my handiwork.

Watch this space to see how I get on :)
