@Alleycat

You may also want to check out the 'Landshare' website ( HFW creation ) , and see if there is anyone with the land but not the energy or time in your area tto work the ground.

I hope your search is more productive than mine.

Stick some veg seeds in pots and dot them around the other plants. If you buy the pots/compost yourself they can't complain, surely?
