CULTIVATION How much of the plot is used for
cultivation of flowers, vegetables or fruit (or beekeeping) and/or is managed
for the benefit of nature (e.g. small pond, wildflower meadow etc) Take into account that there needs to
be space for paths in order to access beds etc. Therefore, its the % of possible
area for cultivation rather than strictly a % of the total plot. Greenhouses, polytunnels,
cold frames, and any composting systems can count towards ground used for
cultivation. |
