Cultivating a plot can be hard work. On average during the growing season (March to October) people spend between at least 5 and 12 hours per week working their plot, whilst from November to February it is between 2 and 6 hours per week. These figures are based on maintaining a well-kept plot.
EAGS expect plot to be 25% cultivated within 6 months of taking on a tenancy, 50% within 12 months, and 100% within 2 years.
Plot inspections are carried out regularly and continued non-cultivation of a plot can lead to termination of tenancy.
