Rotovators are big and heavy, few are small enough to fit in a car and

go on I might have to resort to a trailer I can push it onto. If you only
have a car it might be worth considering a trailer anyway, muddy tools

soon ruin a car's interior no matter how careful you are, I speak from
experience which is why I now have a proper allotment vehicle too.


Excuse me for butting into this to ask a question. A friend of mine would
like to know if it's illegal to sell the produce you have grown on an
allotment. She's American and an admirer of Alan Coren. She read a story
of his about a child who found his parents selling their produce and
ratting
on them!

I worked with a chap when I lived in Leicester who had 3 Allotments with a
friend and ran it as a commercial venture.
