    Animal trap

    Had an email from our allotment secretary saying someone had left a trap on one of the paths on site and a squirrel had been trapped and died. They don’t know who’s laid it and have asked if any members have any knowledge of it. Besides it surely being illegal to set traps for wild animals many of the neighborhood cats wander freely, and some members take their dogs on site ( though they should be on leads) In addition there are some feral cats which some members have adopted and feed. I’ve had a plot for about 18 years and some have had plots for decades but this is unprecedented. I was very disturbed by this.

Allotment and Edible Gardening

This allotment and edible gardening group is to talk to like minded individuals about their experiences and plans, to exchange ideas, get advice, sharing of seeds, plugs, etc. - essentially, anything to do with allotment or edible gardening. I am also hoping we can meet up, perhaps in turns, at each other's plots. This group is open to anyone anywhere with an allotment or a keen interest in learning about allotment culture and edible gardening. As it is a relatively new group, we will also need to see how it evolves organically - very much my style of gardening, as chemical free and organic as possible :-) So far, so good ...do sign up, you'll be most welcome.
