What is an Allotment?
A small piece of land, usually public land, allocated to an individual for cultivation
According to Wikipedia allotments are common across most of Europe, the USA and even the Philippines. What about South Africa?I am pretty keen to get some dialogue going here.
Well there are hundreds of initiatives around South Africa encouraging people to grow their own vegetables, to become self-sufficient or for social upliftment. Many of these projects are on public land, some on private land but most have the same principle at heart; Grow something!
This site is currently only open for the Observatory allotments, please let Duncan know if you would like your own blog.
