WAITING LISTS PART 2

DAVID
        YOU ARE WRONG WHEN YOU SAY THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN SUCH 
A DEMAND FOR ALLOTMENTS AS THERE ARE NOW.
THE DEMAND FOR ALLOTMENTS COMES AND GOES IN CYCLES.
   THE SIXTIES BROUGHT A HUGE DEMAND 
SO MUCH SO THAT COUNCILS WERE ASKING THERE COUNCIL TENAANTS TO
GIVE UP PART OF THIER GARDEN FOR PEOPLE TO USE FOR VEGETABLE GROWING.
    OTHER PEOPLE LIVING IN PRIVATE HOUSES WERE LETTING OUT PIECES OF
THIER GARDEN FOR QUITE LARGE SUMS OF MONEY.
IT WAS PART OF SOME HEALTHY HEATING CRAZE AT THE TIME.
RECIPES WERE APPEARING IN THE PAPER ONE I RECALL SHOWED HOW TO COOK
ALL THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE DANDILION PLANT.
THE NINTIES BROUGHT ANOTHER GREAT DEMAND FOR ALLOTMENTS WHEN THIS
COUNCIL CUT DOWN THE SIZE OF MOST OF THE PLOTS ON THIS SITE.
THIS AGAIN WAS HAPPENING UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY.
THE CRAZE DIED DOWN AND THE COUNCILS WERE LEFT WITH EMPTY PLOTS 
AGAIN
      THE MANURE IDEA IS A GOOD ONE 
I DID IT FOR SOME YEARS AND BEFORE ME A PERSON CALLED RAY HOLMAN DID
THE SAME THING.
IF ITS ANY INTEREST TO YOU THE LAST LOT I GOT WAS FROM OATALL SCHOOL
FARM WHICH WAS FORTY POUND A LOAD.
      A LORRY LOAD OF MUSHROOM COMPOST WAS ONE HUNDRED POUNDS A 
LORRY LOAD.
     HOPE THAT IS OF SOME HELP
              GOOD LUCK
