Autumn planting onions and garlic
These were available to purchase from the hut from Sunday, September 12th. Because of the unpredictability of the numbers of customers that we are getting, once again we have only placed a small order. I’m sure that you will appreciate that we need to cover our costs and it is always a tricky balancing act making sure that we are not left with unsold perishable items.
The hut is currently open from around 10am until 12 noon. Sunday. As usual, cash only.
Kings Seeds Allotment Scheme
In spite of the large amount of unwanted tension and excitement earlier this year, we are proposing to repeat our participation in this scheme again for the 2022 season! (If you partook in this rollercoaster ride of seed buying, you will understand where I’m coming from!) Kings Seeds offer a good range of very reasonably priced vegetable, herb and flower seeds, and give allotment societies a generous discount. If we collate a seed order between us that is worth more than £200 we will be able to pass on to you a 50% discount, give or take a £1.30 handling fee. At the moment we only have one real paper catalogue between us, but I can obtain more if there is interest. You can also view their full range on their website.
If you do decide to dip your toe in this lily pond of opportunity, please note that we are bringing forward the ordering date to November 15th , so that we can breathe during January, February and March.... we will not be able to guarantee any discount after November 15th .
If you would like more details as to how to order, please email or call at the hut, remembering that we will need to place your order on your behalf.
Volunteers
Our team is now very much at skeleton level! If you would like to put on weight by sharing some cake, and burn it off again immediately by heaving compost around, please make yourself known to us!
Compost
We now , once again, have Clover, Growell and John Innes composts, but have not been able to secure any deliveries of Peat Free Compost to date, because of both production and transportation issues. We are aware that many gardeners are trying to avoid the use of peat, and we will be getting peat free compost as soon as we are able.
