Today Ursula and Salim have been spreading Potash on

the growing beds to fertilise them.

and Steve has laid solid paving in the poly-tunnel
to make it accessible for everyone.

Take a look at our new pond. The last one sprung a leak and we arrived to find it empty. We emptied it out and fitted a new lining. We then re-did the rockery and log piles (for wildlife).

Dig Deep has been given a New Shed.

Look at our new Shed!!

Thank you to the team from Tesco Watford Extra who constructed it.

Wildlife spotted on the Allotment

A hedgehog and a frog have been spotted  on the allotment. Can you see them in the photographs? They are well camouflaged. Hedgehogs are generally in decline so we're pleased that one has taken up residence!!

Environmentally friendly Gardens

Here's a few tips to help the environment and encourage wildlife to your garden.

• Old logs in the shade can attract frogs and newts and as the wood rots a range of insects will follow.
• Hedges encourage a range of wildlife for food and shelter.
• Pollinating plants will encourage butterflies and bees.
• Ponds with varying depths and oxygenating plants make for good pond-life.
• Climbing plants can provide food for birds and other wildlife.
• Creating a compost heap can feed your garden.
• Collected rainwater can be used for watering plants.

From Greenhouse to Polytunnel

We are trying to raise £1,000 to buy a Polytunnel. So far, we have raised £650. Can you help us get any closer?

A visitor has been seen on the Allotment. Take a look at the video.
