How big is a plot?

Allotment plots are traditionally measured by "rods", a full plot is approximately 10 rods and a half plot 5 rods.

How big is a rod?

"1 rod/pole/perch = 5.5 yards (reputedly the distance from the back of the plough to the nose of the oxen!). Therefore a square rod (in which allotments are measured is 30.25 sq yards) thus a standard 10 rod plot is 302.5 sq yards = 2,722.5 sq ft.

"It is about the size of the penalty area on a football pitch / tennis court.... or you would fit 16 in an acre if that gives you a better estimate....or maybe 10,400 in a square mile!" from Grow Your Own's Bulletin Board
