What's your vital allotment kit

aelf · « **Reply #60 on:** February 08, 2011, 15:44 »

All my equipment is locked in my shed, but I do keep in the boot of the car:

My allotment Rigger boots
My allotment coat (with allotment keys in the pocket)
My allotment hat

S'ok Plum! if you lived here, you would be considered quite normal .... above average if you could add a dog on a bit of string!

Most of the stuff I need is variable, but even to fetch the veg for dinner there will be my cropping knife in one pocket, tissues in the other, gardening gloves, hand fork and a carrier in the HandBag. The HandBag lives outside the back door and is the filtiest black bucket you can imagine, with a comfy wood handle!

even without the pushchair, I am considered bonkers.
I suppose it does look odd, trudging through the village with hair sticking up (well you sweat when you work!), carrying carrier bags with nefarious bits of green hanging out, and the occasional spud dropping and bouncing on the pavement, mud strewn wellies or boots, smear of mud across nose or cheeks (well doesn't YOUR nose run when you keep bending?), filthy hands, and the handle of a fork - which breaks off at least once a season.....

Can we have a piccie please

think I'd better leave it to your imaginations!!!

you know you've all looked the same as me!!

In the poly tent that i use as a store for the moment, i keep all the tools, wheelbarrow, string, pots etc... and a deckchair and picnic blanket for when the weather is better.

I take with me my flask of coffee, some biscuits, food, plant labels and perm marker, whatever seeds i might sow and one of those fold up raincoats, plastic bags to take food home in, and a fair amount of creativity and determination!

I've got a Trangia stove recently, so no doubt i'll have that with me, and some methylated spirit in the summer- wouldnt leave that on the plot

I'm bad enough at work. 5 minutes & I'm covered in compost. What I look like exiting the allotment is beyond description

Notebook and pencil

Laptop, spreadsheet & expensive software.

(Shouldn't have said that, should I?)

I think you got away with it

And probably even worse - that is all part of the fun - getting mucky.

At least I am in the garden and only the chickens to see me - Oh and the horse when it leans over the fence.

Hehe, I'm fast becoming not yummy mummy, or even slummy, but trampy mummy. I have an 'allotment hat' too,(bit like a deerstalker, tweedy style) a holey cardigan, old ripped jeans, muddy green wellies. Not sure how this goes down when I pick my boy up from nursery, no wonder not many mums chat to me!
Yep we've all been there!

I got so carried away with me baccy I forgot the one bit of kit thats too valuable to leave in the allotment shed,my backsaver spade.
Having had spinal fusion a few years back I wouldnt be able to dig my plots without it.
