@Kimberley@ecoevo.social This is as it should be and it helps keep gardening enjoyable.
The allotments are a proper, laid back bartering paradise.
A plot neighbour recently repaid my gift of some well rotted horse manure with some leeks. Another had some of my raspberry canes. Another some carrot seed. Another some lactic acid bacteria to try out.
I don’t know what, when or if a return trade might occur but that’s also part of the beauty of it.

@Broadfork@mastodon.green @Kimberley@ecoevo.social This is how I try and do things. Scavenging materials, barter and exchange, it has a wonderful organic feel about it, like I'm only in control of the general direction of things and the specifics will be worked out by circumstance.
