What's the story with these? Are there any in Dublin? I know there's some in Cork. I saw on the telly that we're all entitled to one by law or something. I'd love to plant some spuds and the like.

A friend of mine who lives in an apartment grows veg in another friends back garden.Great idea.

 

[snakybus]

[snakybus]

Any idea how you go about putting your name down for one?

I've seen a few ads around where I live for allotments (North County Dublin/Meath). I'll have a look for some of the numbers later and post them up.

There are a few allotments in Kildare, including one in Kildare Town which still has places left. It's usually an 11month contract for €250. One of my colleagues did a story on it, and it seems really cool, if you're willing to travel outside of Dublin.
I can get the contact details of the guy who runs it for ya if you want Mike!

It's a strange place filled with strange creatures who live on large tracts of land called 'farms', or so I've heard. The colloquial term for the creatures is 'culchies'.

That'd be great, Aoife, thanks! Kildare, hmm, I suppose that's not too much of a drive, worth considering anyway.

I'd wee on your spuds if I got wind of where they were.
FYI.

Would that be weeing out of malice or weeing because the nitrates would be good for the spuds?

There's some on the N2 between Ashbourne and Slane, probably under an hour's drive for you. Dunno about cost.
