No advice; I use a lidded plastic coffee tin to hold my small amount of compost (and keep flies off) until I can put it out, a shopping bag or just my hand/arm to harvest into, and a wheelbarrow (for really big end-of-season jobs) or just my hand/arm to weed into. But I only have a wee, mostly container-ized garden at home, and my relationship to my local community garden plot seems different to yours with your allotment.
