Membership Renewal & Rent

Invoices for membership fee and any allotment rent were sent out around the end of September. Check your email including your junk folder.

If you haven't received your invoice by now contact the Membership Secretary.

As last year we are urging Members to pay by bank transfer as this simplifies administration. If you must pay with cash, note that due to lack of volunteers we will only be taking cash/cheque payments at the sheds on:

• Thursday 17^th October
• Sunday 27^th October

Alternatively you can post a cheque - see your invoice for details.

Beat the price rises

Our suppliers have indicated that seed prices will rise significantly next year. The DT Brown stock available in the sheds is generally long dated and viable, so consider stocking up for next year to beat the price increases.

Save our soil!

According to the UN the world has just 60 harvests left because soil is being degraded. Across the allotments we see plots with great soil and those that have been depleted. Regenerative horticulture includes just a handful of practices that restore soil health, such as not tilling, not using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, rotating crops, leaving the ground covered with plants at all times, and growing many different plants alongside each other.

Neglected Plots

We have more than 120 people waiting to rent an allotment yet there are many neglected plots across our sites. If you are finding your plot too much work please consider giving some of it up so others can have a chance to work it.
