b...If you find a suitable bit of land and buy it dont forget you will have legal fees on top of the buying price ...plus land prices now which isnt rough pasture is anything between 10 - 14k an acre ( depending on what part of the country you live in) ..

I would hope not to lose too much if I purchased a piece of land it would be the liquidity that would be the problem.

As for alternatives like aquaponics, hydroponics, aeroponics etc. if you're curious give them a try, they fit in places where you don't have traditional soil and can work out better than using straight pots and compost. Most of the costs associated with these setups are typically the grow lights it seems. I put mine together when I was limited to patio planters and pots, so I tried something different.

If all else fails you could become a guerilla gardener.

I hadn't thought that site security would be the big show stopper - thanks for that, something to bear in mind.


Do you know if it was random locals passing the area / yufs out at night looking for something to do or was it more likely a plot holder rivalry thing?

I agree with coolcait. Put your name down now for a lotty, and the year will pass quite quickly really (the waiting list on my site is 3 years now).
