The Leeds City Council rules state to grow 60% edible crops, fruit and Vegatables etc. The other 40% of your plot which can include a greenhouse, shed, pollytunnel and flowers which comes under the category non edible crops. If your plot is not in a satisfactory condition over the growing season, not cultivated, or you are not utilising the land Old Lane Allotments has the right to refuse your annual rent & the tenancy of your allotment garden will be terminated without warning . This section is in our rules and regulations which all members have a copy of. The waiting list for our site is over 30 people wanting an allotment garden. We are under extreme pressure from Leeds City Council basically make sure your plot is all planted up & cultivated over the main summer months of the growing season.
