I thought about this as there are allotments just a 2 minute walk from my house. problem is Fertilizers / Weedkillers / pesticides etc. You cant be sure if they are contaminated or not. Even if they tell you they do not use such chemicals, can you be sure that their neighbors don't?

Would be a worry to me too, you never know who's spraying their allotments...

You need an organic site, to be sure.

we were asured by the gardeners that they donot use pesticides or weedkillers and they try to be as organic as they can be. they tent to be old fashoned gardeners that use soaked nettles as pesticides ect ect. i wouldnt feed anything that i hadnt thought carefully about first.
