I don't have an allotment and thinking about getting one... What is the normal size of an plot in an allotment and what does it cost? Is it hard to get a plot?
FEDAGA's acting Chairman's plot measures 200m squared.
I don't know what mine measures, never bothered to measure it, it's big enough and that's all I need to know!
well all plots come in all shaps and sizes but i will say make sure it is not to tuin with top soil! that is a prob i got so it holding water on it.......
Hi John,
The plot sizes vary slightly from site to site, half plots are also available- but generally a full plot is designed to be of sufficient size to feed a family of four for one year. Have a look through the fence of your nearest site to get an idea!
Currently rents are £50 per annum, going up to £60 next year plus a small FEDAGA/Site Association fee (circa £2.50 per annum in total).
You will have to wait at least three years to get a plot depending on your choice of sites, please see the attached link of approximate waiting times for each Council site in Edinburgh:
