Featuring shed, compost heap, shovel, seed and home freezer, David Crouch 's film digs below the topsoil in the world of allotments. There's more to the mighty allotment than meets the eye. Owners are regarded as subversive by some local authorities and town planners and councils all over Britain are selling allotment land: 40,000 of them are facing extinction. Now a new fighting breed of allotment owner has dug in, and in this film they sling some mud.
