Story:
Allotments have become a rubbish tip. On top of a tatty sofa, perches an old TV and beside it lean a rusty mountain bike and a fridge full of junk food. Plastic bags and bottles drift about, and a supermarket trolley careers all over the place! When a bright young laptop lands on the pile, it searches the Internet for help. The Wasteland Warriors pick up the email and come to the rescue. But while they're busy recycling the rubbish and regenerating the allotment, Slick, a can of motor oil, lurks beside a nearby pond!
