2024 Potato Challenge
Thanks to Cyril and Wendy (Plot 15) plot holders can take part in a Potato Challenge to see who can grow the heaviest single potato and produce the heaviest total yield. Prizes to be won!
Seed potato, with growing bag and instructions available now from Cyril. Free to all plot holders so do join in. Judging will take place on 22nd June from 1.30 to 3.30 p.m. on Plot 15. Potatoes must be presented for weighing still in the bag with the tops removed. If you can't get there you can leave your bag with the tops cut off and clearly labelled at the top of Plot 15.
Gates
IMPORTANT - whenever the last vehicle on site leaves, drivers must close the gates behind them (even if cyclists and plotholders on foot are still working).
Bonfires
Please be considerate to neighbours when lighting bonfires, and follow Site Rules.
Hedges
As we are now in the UK nesting season, no further hedge cutting should take place.
Please continue to water new saplings as necessary until they settle in, and keep the rear of plots free from debris.
Pest Control
Please use the Pest Control Book in the Main Shed to note any problems so that the pest control company can deal appropriately.
