#as tbh are restrictions on trees (tho i badly want trees. i want them so bad.) a tree is a commitment. if you don't commit and tend to it

I just think that if someone's paying their rent and they are using the land you rent to them for its intended purpose (growing food and flowers for my households use) what does it fucking matter how they do it. Like please. What is the point. Chill the fuck out

#gardening is one of those hobbies where you meet people you'd never have reason to spend time with otherwise #which is great! i love that i get to meet ppl and have reason to socialise with ppl who are largely of a different generation. #it's interesting to meet people different to you! #but in the same hand. oh my god i have met some of the worst people. and they arent the worst cause they are bad ppl. they are #just oblivious. not everyone gets to have a healthy working body till they hit 60! not everyone has outdoor space at home #not everyone has money to make this an expensive hobby. not everyone has a car to aid them with that hobby. #not everyone has the time and energy to follow stupid rules that serve no purpose. if it isn't hurting anyone do you need to rule against it #on allotments you find 2 types of hobbyists: ppl who like gardening. and ppl who like dictating how other ppl garden #some ppl are honest to god in it for the rules. like. it irritates me to no end cause they put so many ppl off! diversity is good actually #i like seeing someone a few plots over doing something bizarre and inexplicable. tell me more. please. i love that you are doing you #I'm a big believer in knowing every rule and knowing why it's a rule. don't dump shit cause that makes the land unusable #don't damage the soil because that'll have a lasting impact on the next tenant. look after the soil & #don't turn it in to a dustbowl for the same reason #you cant sell shit because we have a legal entitlement to land to grow things for our own use not commercial use. if you use this land for a #different purpose than intended. everyone's entitlement is threatened. they'll say we don't need it and take it away. use it or lose it #you can't have a cow here cause the land isn't big enough to treat that cow fairly. so restrictions on animals are fair #as tbh are restrictions on trees (tho i badly want trees. i want them so bad.) a tree is a commitment. if you don't commit and tend to it #it'll limit space to grow other stuff. as it can shade/ take water from veg beds which can produce more food #limits on what chemicals you can use make sense! I'm not even against the no dog rule. some dog owners are super annoying & cause problems #but some of these rules are for the sake of making up rules. if someone can argue a way they can do something without being a disruption #to others or causing lasting damage. you should be able to say 'oh OK yeah. in this case that's fine'. #its not reasonable to ban stuff cause you don't personally like how it looks. it's not OK to decide someones wrong cause they arent doing it #as you would. you need to accept that ppl are different and not everyone wants to do things in the same way you do them #not everyone's doing them for the same reasons
