In the 60th and longest-ever episode of Allotment Diaries Podcast , hosts Laura and Chay are joined by special guest Anna for a delightfully off-topic conversation that starts with good intentions (allotments!) and ends up covering just about everything else. While allotments were meant to be the focus, the discussion veers off the composted path and into all sorts of unexpected territory — including family life, favourite Netflix shows, the joys and perils of 'adolencenses' with smartphones, natural remedies for stinging nettles (some more convincing than others!), and an essential debate about the best 90s boy band. Anna also shares the story of her own allotment journey. When she first took on her plot in May 2023, it was in rough shape — the kind of place where weeds go to thrive and tools go to disappear. But with a lot of hard work, patience, and the occasional snack break, she’s turned it into a productive, peaceful space for her and her son, Noah. The allotment now offers home-grown food, a retreat from daily life, and a place to build lasting memories. It’s a warm, funny, and thoroughly relatable episode that reminds listeners why they fell in love with gardening — and also why it's perfectly fine to go off on a few tangents along the way.

EP.57 | Exploring Allotments in Los Angeles with David Benjamin. 53:28

In this episode, Chay visits Fountain Community Garden in Hollywood during his trip to Los Angeles and sits down with Garden Manager David Benjamin. They discuss how community gardens (the US equivalent of allotments) operate in LA, the variety of plants grown, the challenges they face—including the impact of recent wildfires—and their future ambitions. While UK allotments and LA community gardens have distinct differences, Chay uncovers striking similarities, from the ongoing battle with pests such as Slugs to shared struggles and strengths. A key takeaway from the conversation is the strong engagement of local businesses and organisations with LA’s community gardens, prompting reflections on whether UK allotments could foster deeper community involvement. Though this episode offers just a glimpse into the US gardening scene, it sparks an important discussion about the role of community in allotment culture.

Laura and Chay debate the environmental impact of these materials while trying not to lose their minds over the sheer number of “weird things” people put in their plots. Plus, they remind you that not all allotment rules are the same, so don’t be the person that gets kicked off the plot for using a roll top bath as a planter!
