Compost Prices

"As a result of the unprecidented difficulties with the peat harvest, manufacturers have reported an 18,000,000m3 shortfall in supply, there will be unavoidable increases in the cost of all, majority based peat based, quality retail and professional composts". This is across the whole compost manufacturing industry in 2012/2013 with all major DIY retailers and Garden Centres suffering up to 20% price increases due to the wet summer of 2012.

Despite the above we are determined to deliver the very best value for our members and have purchased in advance and therefore our prices remain unchanged.

Padlocks cut off allotment gates

On Thursday we had a number of plots which had their padlocks cut off. At this stage we are unsure if plotholders have had anything stolen. Should anything have been stolen please report this on the 101 incident number.

Free wood chippings

We have a large amount of free wood chippings available from outside the hut. These are good quality and are ideal for allotment paths when placed over weed suppressing fabric. Free large 25kg polythene bags and shovel loan available Sunday mornings.
