- A countdown of the 10 biggest causes for conflict on our allotments!
Allotments and community gardens are a place to escape the chaos of everyday life and find a few hours of peace and quiet whilst getting back to nature. That peace and quiet is not always guaranteed though, as we find out now.
Allotments are a fantastic resource for people the world over and this video is not intended to scare or deter people from using them. I have been an allotment holder for many years and have enjoyed almost every second of my time on the plot. The positives of allotment ownership overwhelm the negatives many time over and I would not hesitate to recommend to everyone!
Check out my other gardening related videos too!

loving your vintage silent movie skits very funny
Great show, reminds me of Malcolm Kingswell; Allotments for fun and food!
0:51 I was not expecting that, especially in a video about allotments! I'm glad I wasn't drinking tea at the time!
So true!! Had my share of shed break-ins, vandalism and thefts which is soul-destroying .. but all is forgotten in the sheer joy of allotmenteering😍. Great vid 👍🥕
Hi Tracy,
It's all part of being an allotmenteer but like you say, the good far outweighs the bad!!
Matt 🌻🍅🍆🥔🥕🌶🥒🥬🥦😬
Tom, absolutely brilliant! We are on day 4 of our plot and I thought this was brill, you deserve an Oscar! I worked in Nottingham for many years and live over the border so your humour is right up my street!
After a hard day at work that put a right smile on my face. Great stuff :)
Nice one mate. Bit of joy in these strange times. Thanks. Leon
You skipping through the weeds make me do a big LOL, that spooked my cat.
🤣🤣🤣 glad you both enjoyed it
This was so well put together, I loved it so much for being both funny and informative. This is why we follow you buddy. Glad to have you back.🌶🌽👏😍🤣
You probably dont care at all but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Major Jason Instablaster ;)
These recent vids are really making me laugh, keep them coming! 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant😄. Well thought out filmed and edited . Thanks for giving us all a laugh. Take care. Nick
🤣Just fantastic! Loved it, thanks for a much needed laugh.
So, soooo good to have you back! Loved everyone of your latest videos. Look forward to the next one. Take care.
I love it. It's so true and happens alot where we were. We had our crops damaged and hens poisoned by a bully. Just be careful of the site you choose. Some have good reputations, others have bad ones.
That was a fun video. Shame you don’t do videos anymore. Would love to see you come back and start us newbies with the basics. My allotment is my back garden.
Well the issue with using pesticides etc is that it’s only the person who uses the pesticides that affect other people. Someone growing organically would have no negative effect on the plot next door, yet pesticides potentially would.
this made me chuckle
Love the way you have two of you on the screen at the same time
Good to see you back to your humorous best! A fantastic piece of film making! I hope you manage to get on your feet with a new job etc in these uncertain times. Bravo!
Great to see you back matt 👍
Way toooooooo many jobsworths and envious gits at my allotment.
This was brilliant! Nicely put together. I'm picking up the keys to my allotment tomorrow. You've got yourself a new follower!
Only just seen this, almost a year later, and I'm howling here 🤣🤣🤣!
😂 You had me at "bulging butt" thank you! Xx
🤣🤣
Wow ..what a great real video...3 years in
..and ive witnessed 7 of..these things.. brilliant .but .the rest of time ..mainly all..is fantastic. All is a learning / experience centre .and make Freinds if all ages..spot on
That was hilarious. Well done 😂😂
Great video! Would agree with all of these with the addition rubbish/green waste dumping. I've seen a few people dumping cuttings and weeds onto others plots
Great video thank you
Just brilliant. 🤣😂
Loool this showed up in my newsfeed new subscriber
What a chuckle, subscribed!
Ah, feels like home. We have the exact same issues with allotments here in Germany.
Great video! Had quite a few hearty laughs, especially when you took out the tweezers to pull weeds, hahaha!
Loved it! x
Really well done, a great video that made me laugh out loud :-)
This was awesome!!!!!!
What can I say, Matt?
BRILLIANT!!
Now you know why we missed you so much. Sincerely hoping that things are starting to sort themselves out for you.Some of us actually CARE! A great vid, although I am not personally an allotmenteer. Your unique brand of goonery got the messages across without rancour. Well done. Be prepared for comeback from any feathers you might have ruffled. Some things need saying and you got it across in 'the best possible taste;' (remember Kenny Everett?) - Every good wish to you, bro' - Paul
What a thoughtful and well made video!
Klaus
Loved it Matt
This is your best video . Funny and accurate.
Nice video I have 3 wildlife cameras now because of theft. When produce goes missing it’s normally from fellow plot holders cheers 🍻
realy do love your vids u so make me giggle thanks dude
Amazing!
I enjoyed that & very informative
That was great buddy really funny
Well done Matt, bit of fun in a mad mad world
Cheers Steve!!
Brilliant video, very amusing and very true 😂
This was hilarious, loved the acting! Also some good practical tips on how to be a good allotment holder.
Excellent and everything true.
Brilliant Video as always, gave me a good laugh 😂 looks like allotment problems are universal lol
Nice one I thought that was hilarious 😂
All the conflicts of nations demonstrated in the microcosm of an allotment.
The best!!!
Your videos are great. -Aussie Keith
Great vid Matt 👍
Oh my days this is brilliant...so so funny and well put together.I would have loved to have been a fly on your plot shed wall when you were filming it 🤣🤣 .This will be one to watch a few times whenever I need a laugh.well done Matt.
Hi Helen, thank you so much!
There were a few raised eyebrows, but people know what I'm like 🤣

Nice !
Well done! I agree, from over 12 years "plotting" ! However, despite it all, for a few quid a week - it's worth it! What gets me is when new people arrive and refuse to acknowledge others - won't return a smile or a greeting, OK then... Bye!
I've actually been put off from applying for an allotment. I deal with enough neighbourly stresses where I live, to the have to deal with that while trying to do my hobby.
I had a stalker in the form of another plot holder. The whole thing lasted 18 months until the committee had them expelled from the site for " not working their plot".
Hilarious! Love your videos 👌
Absolutely great love the video hope your well best wishes from nick
This is a hoot!
This is absolutely brilliant 👍😂👌 especially liked the reference to a bulging but lol (sadly had to give up my alottment recently as covid and a new baby meant had no time, and especially in the minds of the 'keen' committee) 😭
Sorry to hear you gave your plot up, but I'm sure you'll always have green fingers and can pick it up later when life allows.
Congratulations on the baby!!
Just been kicked off mine but mine had greenhouses and a 3x6 met tunnel someone had their eye on it so back Home I am .
Brilliant! I especially liked the "chemical spraying" technique like an MI5 agent. (Pls tell me it was water) 🤣 Your talents go further than giant courgette-growing, Sir.
Hahaha very good 😅 your too funny you know. Not many agree with no dig at mine lol
Not seen a video from you this year hope you keeping well and will be back with us soon
This is EXCELLENT!🤣🤣🤣
Very funny,, but very true 👍...
❤️
Terrified! Getting rid of allotment right now! Lol
I feel anxious about my plot even tho it's tidy. I can't cultivate at full scale for another month tho so I already feel sick that the allotment police will get me. I'm not good with confrontation
I had a good laugh at this one,
Interesting...
I live in Texas & my community garden is organic only. Are there allotment sites like that?
This is soo o true😀😀
The one with the hosepipe 😂😂😂😂😂
I know, what a plonker!! 🤣🤣
Allotment Gardener got a few of them on my site. They either go early morning when no one else if there and hose their whole plot or in the evening. Even though I’ve seen them loads of times 😂😂😂 this was a really funny video. Hope you’re doing alright xx
Quite brilliant 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Too kind 👍👍😬😬
My little site, my plot is next to the site rep's plot, and he sprayed his bind weed on his fence with weed killer.... only problem was it drifted on to the edge of my plot and affected some of my plants!.....I wasn't happy!!!!
I can bet you were not!!
And that's from the rep!?
Happy growing,
Matt 🥦🥬🥒🌶🥕🥔🍆🍅🌻👍
Jealousy.......I'd put that first . All my life I dreamed of leaving the hustle and bustle of living in the city . I found a little row of cottages out in the countryside, one came up for sale .....put my offer in and the nightmare began. At first my neighbor was friendly and helpful but when I purchased a plot of land next to the cottages it all changed . I worked for 12 months on the land ....greenhouse.....vegetable beds ...flower beds ......new fencing. Then the nice neighbor turned nasty ......
Long story short .......it got that bad I moved back to the city ! He liked to beat his dog when he had a bad day and thought it was ok ?
I moved because the crazy bastard had guns and his character was like the loon at Whitehaven that went on a shooting spree..........
So ......be careful out there. Don't upset people by being yourself 😤😜🖕
Just got my first allotment....
Second visit and my neighbour had seized the authorised path between our plots.
Im going to seize 3 metres south... its shit land with worse light but I have room to expand.
Allotments are not full of relaxed hippies... they are highly competitive and you see peoples true colours.... I have seen more waste dumping on allotments than I have seen anywhere in my life.
I shit you not ... I used to go to anarchist festivals and they had better discipline than allotments.
Screw "the environment" .... the people on my allotment take all their waste to the nearest border fence and dump it there. There our developing nations with better waste policies.
Hahaha. Very good Matt. xo Mojo
The weeds one 😂😂😂😂
Weeds are a debatable one for me. Depends which ones!
Also the committee. ... no.
This is true and funny
My alotments are in my street!
Hahaha you are so epic 🤣🤣🤣
brilliant 😂😂😂
Oh matt....youndo make me laugh..please...come back
#5 No, just no. If someone really wants to argue about how I garden in my own space, they can just do one.
like everything in life other people ruin it.
Funny 🤣
try guerilla growing
👍👍👍😂
Seems like allotments are rooted in pettiness.
Hehe, theft and jealousy 😂
🤣🤣😆
🤣🤣🤣
Traditional vs progressive especially when both camps are on the committee. The traditionalists: neatly dug rows of leeks and turnips in bare soil, likely to be men way over 50 have done it the way their post war dads and grandad did it. Dig, dig, dig and there's a chemical for everything. Progressives: wavy paths of quinoa and wildlife friendly gardens, more diverse group of people . Includes permaculture which mimics nature rich with plants but can look wild and unkempt to the uninitiated.
