I advise that you look at Roots uncovered on Facebook. We’ve also discovered that although they’ve smothered skylarks and state that they don’t want to harm wildlife, the two of their founders are members of the Mendip Farmers Hunt!

Roots have destroyed a meadow, next to SSSI areas in Bristol. Chris Packham has gone on the record to say that the idea is good, but in the wrong place - simply because it involves plot holders having to DRIVE to their plots. Allotments should be in towns/cities - not on green belt. This company is a bunch of greenwashing cowboys - please look up Roots Uncovered on Facebook for a more balance evaluation of these charlatans.
