I have an allotment in Bristol, depending where you are their either isn't a waiting list at all, or it's around 1 year.

We've got a little (I mean, tiny) green patch here, the rest's concrete. Only problem is, my flatmate's got three rabbits and a dog.

Any suggestions on how to keep them from digging up/eating anything planted? (we tried to build a fence...the dog's a pretty good jumper!!) I'd love to try and grow some veg...it all tastes so plastic from the shops here =[

Builders' bags, or "bags for life" from the supermarket if space is more limited, can make cheap and effective planters. Rabbits won't eat everything, and cayenne pepper will keep the dog off.
