hi stuart, you stand a better chance of obtaining an allotment if you live in our lovely estate called greendykes or nearby craigmillar.
the allotments are situated at the back of a tower block and the plotholders are mostly a friendly lot but i cant say the same about the management
you can also try for a sub-let as this is standard practice here.
the allotments are council run and strict rules are in place to try and prevent anti-social behaviour within and outside the compound.
as several members have already been evicted from the allotments for anti-social behaviour already,
i hope you are succesfull in your bid for an allotment and manage to keep it tidy as they dont like weeds here.

SOIL ANALYSIS ON ALLOTMENTS
I AINT STARTED YET ! THE "BLUE ASBESTOS" SAMPLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE COUNCIL FOR ANALYSIS AND MYSELF AND THREE
OTHERS WILL SWEAR ITS THERE.
YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS TO BLAME FOR THIS ACTION.
I DONT WISH CLOSURE OF THE ALLOTMENTS
I JUST WANT YOU TO HAVE THE SOIL CHECKED PROPERLY
BY THE BRITISH SOIL INSTITUTE IN ABERDEEN
I ASKED YOU IN 2007 WHEN I FOUND THE FIRST BIT BUT YOU REFUSED AS IT MIGHT HAVE LED TO CLOSURE
IT COSTS £35 FOR THE TEST AND WILL GIVE THE PLOTHOLDERS,
AND MYSELF CLOSURE.
if you want to waste
andy if you want the soil checked and have £35:00 to waste then go ahead
SOIL CHECK
WHATS WRONG HAVE YOU SOMETHING TO HIDE.
ignore osmosis
Andy don't start slagging off the allotments because you lost your plot for your anti social behaviour.threatening behaviour and stealing. the plots are doing fine without you and the other plot holders who had to be told to leave. the plots are on council land but the group have there own constitution.
