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.

The Composting Toilet Shed has had a Spring Makeover !

 

The composting toilet shed has had a makeover. Also, we have discovered a robin's nest at the allotment. There are a couple of chicks that may have fledged by next week. Hope to post some pictures soon.



Being driven Potty!

We are all keeping warm on the Dig Deep allotment today by getting our hundreds of pots organised! Amanda and Andy are building a new pot container from old pallets! Nothing goes to waste here!
