Working hours
« on: May 16, 2023, 11:18 »
Good morning all
I am new to the site but am hopeful that you can help me.  Please can you tell me if there are any rules around the hours that you can start working on your allotment e.g. Is 6am too early?  What time is too late?
Any help would be much appreciated, TIA.

We have rules that say you can't be on the plot when it is dark.
It's also mentioned that you shouldn't use noisy equipment at a time, when you might 'disturb' neighbours. No times actually given IIRC but you shouldn't be waking people up using your rotovator.
If you only want to dig by hand or weed/hoe I shouldn't think you'd make enough noise to bother anybody.
Quite a few of our local 'old boys' are on their plots, with their flasks and sarnies, by 6am in summer  ;)

I’m not aware of any rules for working my plot regarding time.
During Covid I visited the plot at around 6.30am to minimise contact with others.
I also visited early when we had a heatwave and it was just too hot to work later in the day. At present there are no houses near my allotment so noise isn’t really an issue.
Keep digging

Our site you can't be there after dark.  I was there about 6.30 this morning and I wasn't the only one.  We're in the middle of houses so it's a case of use your common sense.

We have no rules but I wouldn't want to try to work there after dark.

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
