Simon & I have recently taken on an allotment in Hereford which has been neglected for approx 18 months. we would appreciate any suggestions for recomending any resonably priced silage sheet cover to suppress weeds so we can work on a small part at a time and not cause spread of weed for our other allotment holders.All commercial retailers seem very expensive.thanks.
we started a compost bin 8 months ago, everything seems slow in breaking down. Is it too late to use an accelerator? if not how is the best way to apply it
I have just come across this website, like minded people great. I took over my allotment last October and its been hard work but how Dick the chap who had my plot before me copes I'm amazed, he still has three plots and they are all more under control than mine. This week Dick tells me he had to give up my plot because he had a Tripple bi-pass!!!!
In the village of laceby, north lincs the local parish council has just opened a site of 50 allotment plots. All plots have been taken and the transformation of a bleak field to an allotment site has been amazing over the last eight weeks or so. It is great for any community spirit and the enjoyment of planting your own vegatables is brilliant. If anyone reading this has a chance of an allotment grab it with both hands its great.
I am 16 and love gardening even though my parents are not really interested (but supportive).
My godparents have a great allotment and have helped me with our house garden I'm also influencing my younger sisters which is super because they like to help me with the weeding and other bits and bobs. Long live allotments.
We have had our allotment since April this year. It has changed our lives. My husband has never really been interested in gardening. now he is the Veg King! We are going to the annual BBQ, held this Sunday on our site.We have made lots of new friends and it is great to be with like-minded people.We all share tips and produce. I Love it!
