We've just taken on an allotment in our village. Not sure we've got time for it, but at £7 a year we thought it was worth giving it a go.
Anyway, it needs re-fencing around the perimeter and we're thinking of using round timber steaks with wire fencing between. Will 3" dia stakes be strong enough, or should we go for 4" to make sure? Would it be worth using 4" anyway at the corners - for a bit of extra strength? Do we need any diagonal strutting to the posts for stability?
Any other tips on 'running' an allotment most appreciated!!
