Manure
Bruno Dore writes:
"I will do a manure run later this month if there is enough demand to warrant it. £2.50 a barrow* of well-rotted horse, delivered to the trading shed yard, Wood Vale gate and/or the ‘parking bay’ at the end of the Queens Wood track.
*A barrow is 15 shovelfuls (not spadefuls), enough to fill a full-sized builders’ barrow. It will cover between two and three square metres, depending on how liberal you are. This is about twice the quantity of a bag of manure that you might buy from a garden centre for £4.50 or more.
Please let me know if you’re interested and if so, roughly how many barrows. RSVP by Sunday 15th September"
Plot 15 update
The committee has been working hard to progress the development of Plot 15. Many thanks to those who helped at the last site working party to clear the upper part of the plot. The next stage is to put down the concrete slab for the building and to create terracing on the upper part of the plot. We are hoping to do this work ourselves to keep costs down. Lots of volunteers will be needed and we will let you know dates as soon as we’ve finalised a timetable. The development of Plot 15 will be on the agenda at the AGM in November.
A reminder
Please make sure your plot is clearly numbered.
