November 2022
In January 2023, the wonderful Nigel and Lucy took on the project of transforming our allotment space into a working allotment. They have been working hard sorting and tidying – this was a huge task in itself! They are currently working on turning over the ground and preparing the raised beds ready for planting. Keep a watch for exciting things to come.
There is a planting plan for fruit and vegetables.
Look at the difference made to the shed.

The compost area
As you can see, these compost bins have been made of re-purposed pallets. The cafe kitchen generates peelings which get layered with cuttings from the grounds maintenance. These will result in organic soil to be used on the allotments.
