Raring to go 00:39am on 15 Apr 2009 Hi
If you read this Joe, I see that the episode coming up has you doing the digin thing.

I work in a school and have just arranged for the school to have an allotment on the allotment site at the back of the school. We are awaiting tools and a tool store and a greenhouse from the morrisons campaign. It just seems a shame that the digin and also the rhs campaign both exclude the one most important venue in the country for getting young people into growing veg 'schools', and the only reason they are excluding them is because to qualify for any seeds means you have to register as an individual person rather than as a school / establishment.
As per a reply I got from Blue Peter each and every single student would have to register individually. Now this to me seems ludicrus when trying to get younger people growing as schools dont have the time to allow this to happen, instead of learning they would be all filling in online forms.

Yours
A slightly dissolusioned school employee and allotment holder.
