We have at least three 'working party' days when jobs around the site are done be plot holders. Everyone is expected to attend at least two or if anyone sees something which needs doing, let the committee know and do it, in that way you can be exempt from the 'working party' days.
We usually have a communal bonfire that day so plot holders can burn waste and we get a skip at least once a year.
That sound good, we don't seem to have any thing so many areas like where the main pile of bark goes that just have rubbish in and could do with a clear up and brambles that need cutting back as can't use the road the car gets scratched
Hello , we have had general tidy up days on the site , mainly the boundary Hedges
The committee ask for volunteers , I don't mind helping out and there are one or two of us that just do the odd job that we see needs doing e.g. a few weeks ago I just cut the hawthorn hegde by one of the gates as it was getting difficult to use
The farmer has his own private tip so at the moment you can put any rubbish in the car park and it will eventually be cleared
Hoping it won't be raining tomorrow as would like to go to plot , getting withdrawal symptoms!
What a good harvest, GWRS. Slugs have nibbled my chard and leeks aren't very thick. Kale is looking good though and I'm hoping for early broccoli in the spring.
I've wet and dry weather jobs to do, so hoping to go to plot tomorrow.
Zoomer that is brilliant you got them - copied packet
thanks for info about sites
Went to the allotment today planted up my bulb container - tulips, daffs, alliums and crocus re done planter so also had the bulbs from last year to re plant and added some self seeded forget me nots and sweet rocket seedling, small bit of digging done too was cold feet got cold
Brought home to dry off lots of pallet planks now in front of radiator to do the last outside side of shed don't want wet wood to put up and tough to saw hope to do that soon
GWRS great to get offered apples, garden project going well most of one side done and other side cleared and some bits planted only 1 more bag of daffs to plant 2kg - main man has a meeting with the heritage people next week to see if he can get the signal box to get it restored with a grant

Don't be surprised if the planks warp or bow if you dry them too quickly.
wood still looks ok but still wet, some are drier which were up stairs, half radiator works needs de slushing so not extremely hot
On Friday at the Woolston garden project got another raised bed made and filled
