Elaine and Julia are back for another episode of the Potty Plotters Plotcast, enjoying the lovely weather outside.

The main topic of discussion is the multifaceted use of sheds on allotments. Elaine shares her experience of having three sheds—one for pots, one for tools, and a sitting shed for relaxation and occasional tea and cream scones. Julia talks about the importance of having a personal space on the allotment and the benefits of sheds, especially for those who spend long hours on their plots.

Later, they interview Luke from Derby County Community Trust, discussing the allotment projects they've been working on together. Luke shares insights into the importance of planning and having a purpose for the allotments, the challenges of managing produce, and the broader impact on the community.

Elaine and Julia wrap up with a segment on the do's and don'ts of allotment gardening, emphasising the importance of following site rules and the benefits of using cardboard as a weed suppressant.
