Allotment Garden T-Shirts

I spent 6 weeks in various allotments in England studying the fascinating structures that gardeners create out of everyday objects. The most drawn allotment was in Bucklands Hill in Maidstone, Kent.

It shows the Compost aspect of the title, I witnessed a lot of clever ways to keep compost at the allotment. It turns out composting your waste is not as simple as just putting it in a heap and waiting. There has to be very specific ratios of dry to wet waste, or green and brown waste. If this ratio is off, the decomposition process comes to a halt. You can see in the examples that many of the bins are composed of interchangeable parts
