Thanks Scroggin bamboo canes are a must if want tall ones so don't have an issue with travelling with them
there is a shop on site and are thinking if we wanted anything else for them to sell
all I can think of is pencils to go with the labels , but would be nice to add something to their list of things
This is what they put in an email
What should we sell in the Shop? Please let us know what you'd like to see on sale in the shop for the next growing season! We're planning ahead and need to know what you'd like the shop to supply you with. Any ideas? Then please email or pop in for a cup of tea or coffee on Saturday or Sunday morning and let us know.
What sort of plant food do any of you use - want something for my water melon and celery
Thanks Scroggin that would be a brilliant idea for them to have - I would of never thought of that I have looked at debris netting online and they do come in large amouts and different sizes and so many colours - do they act like a wind break? as well as keeping debri off
all suggustions I will put forward - keep them coming
I have let them know ideas will have to see if they like them to get them thanks all you are such a helpful lots
the shop does sell poultry manure pellets in a large bag at £6.40 - ground cover pegs and clips - but I have given them all the ideas to have small bags of chicken pellets sure they could do that make a large bag into small get the same price just with small amouts of money for each bag adding up to the same as the large
Allotment holders on site do use the cable ties so sure they will like that in the shop, tent pegs are use ful for netting
