Plot Availability

Unfortunately there are no plots currently available….

we have had so much demand for new plots, and the waiting list is full and is now closed…

Security!

Please be extra vigilant re security and share any suspicious activity!!Make Sure GATES are Locked and it is your responsibility to secure your boundary hedge!

Plot holders are not allowed on other persons plots without an invite: please stick to the main path…

Weed Killer

You are discouraged from using Weed Killer… If you must then you have to consider the impact on the adjacent plots….

‘‘Clause 3v of the Tenancy Agreement covers damage to crops of other allotment holders. Also clause 3t covers anything which in the opinion of the Committee/Council causes a nuisance or annoyance to other allotment holders’’

If in doubt dont use weedkiller…

Toilet

We recently had to suspend access to the toilet as it has been abused! We will continue to monitor the situation as it would be sad to lose such an important facility

Water

Our water bills have never been higher.

Remember .. Direct watering of plots from the field taps by hosepipe is NOT allowed.

Why not get a water butt and help us save!! Try Gumtree or similar for a Freebie?

VERY IMPORTANT if you must use weed killer then take the water to your plot to mix ..don’t mix weed killer at the tap!!! And then make sure it goes nowhere near adjacent plots!!

Trees… some guidance

Must be kept in check with a maximum of 10 foot tall recommended. Please consider the impact on your neighbours in particular to branches, roots and shade

Only fruit trees are allowed
Must be properly pruned to the recommended height of ten feet
Must not impact impact on your neighbours or overhang communal paths between plots

And Finally

A little boy asks an old gardener

"what do you put on your rhubarb?".

"Well, usually rotted horse manure" replies the gardener. " ……we have custard on ours" says the boy.
