[QUOTE="renewablejohn, post: 7701136, member: 1136"] Personally for that price I would not touch it with a barge pole. Now if it had been market growing land for the last 10 years with all the goodness in the soil then it would be worth every penny and more besides. It will probably take 5 years of hard work and compost before you get consistent crops suitable for market. I was the first to do landshare in the UK with plots of only 120 m2 each but by the time of the 2nd flush of weeds most had given up the ghost. Being in West Yorkshire you will need polytunnels to get any sort of all year round cropping and if not already there the chance of planning in a suburban environment is remote. I am just over the border in East Lancs if you want to see what sort of mess can be made of the land by this type of operation. It will probably take me another three years to restore back to the working horticulture site it once was. [/QUOTE]
