[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 3128390, member: 2119"] Call me a communist but I've often wondered about setting up a "community venture" where volunteers can come and grow and harvest the spuds. Plenty of people about here with part time jobs, semi retired etc who could do it. Would be an interesting experiment. Volunteers could invest their cash in shares in the venture to pay for the inputs then share the produce or profits from sales amongst themselves. I'd be happy to trouser the basic payment as a rent for the plot as its paid by the taxpayers anyway. My mate at a university near here is running these schemes quite successfully getting inner city people involved with quite good results. [/QUOTE]
