What a Transformation

One of the slightly neglected plots, which had piles of rubbish when tenant took over, now has raised beds with plenty of produce growing, all in the space of 3 months.

Whilst undertaking the probation visit for this plot, the new tenant was on site. She stated that since she took over the tenancy, she goes down nearly every day, topping up her "free UK tan" since we have had such warm weather over the summer months.

She stated that it is "like going on holiday every day" and is a "different world" when she is there - enjoying life.

Well done on such a marvellous transformation.

The booking system for burning permits is now open and you can book permits from14th September. Please remember these rules around burning on your plot:
• No items should be brought onto plots specifically for burning.
• Remove/recycle rubbish rather than burning.
• Any necessary burning should be limited to small burning bins.
• Avoid burning materials that create smoke.
• Be mindful of weather conditions and neighbouring plots and properties.
• Only burn when others are not out enjoying the sunshine and good weather

Allotments are for gardening, not waste disposal!

One of the joys of visiting our allotments is spotting the wildlife that calls them home. Some creatures are far too quick for the camera, but every now and then one stays still long enough for a photo. 🦋🐝🌼
Anyone have any photos of wildlife that’s visited their plot to share?

Caring for our shared areas! 💚
A group of allotment tenants, along with two officers from the Allotments Team, came together today to tackle the access route adjacent Stranton Allotments.
This track is well used not only by allotment tenants but also by local residents, providing a safe route to school and a popular path for dog walkers. It started to look neglected, with litter including lots of dog muck bags, plastic bottles, crisp packets and sweet wrappers and larger fly tip items like toys and tiles. Together, we collected the rubbish and piled it up ready for collection by HBC.
The lane has also been strimmed by one of the allotment tenants, making a huge difference to the appearance of the area. It's now looking much cleaner, tidier and more welcoming for everyone who uses it.
A big thank you to everyone who gave up their time to help improve this well used area making it nicer for everyone.

What a difference!🌱
A neglected plot at Nicholson Field has been completely transformed by one of our new tenants. In less than a year, it has gone from a grot spot to a lovely garden, producing a fantastic crop and is a credit to the site.
The hard work and dedication of the tenants is clear to see. It's great to see what can be achieved.

What a beauty!!! 🍅💙

Indigo Blue Beauty tomatoes spotted at Burn Valley today, where I met a lovely tenant who kindly showed me around her plot. Not only do they look amazing, they taste delicious too. If you're looking for something different to grow next year, I'd highly recommend giving these a go.

🌧️🌧️Finally, some rain! 🌧️🌧️
If you don't already collect rainwater on your plot, now is the perfect time to think about adding gutters to your shed or greenhouse. Harvesting rainwater is better for your plants, prevents flooding at the base of structures and can help reduce water bills!
As you can see, water butts come in all shapes and sizes, from repurposed containers to purpose built.

This morning, two officers from the Allotments Team, together with a tenant from the site, collected this pile of fly tipped cans from the lane at Nicholson Field. The cans were then taken to Greenbank for recycling, filling one and a half of their dumpy bags.
Around 100 batteries were also picked up and responsibly disposed of through a local supermarket recycling scheme.
The Allotments Service is not funded to deal with fly-tipping. As a result, situations such as this require officers to divert time and resources away from their core responsibilities.
We would like to thank our tenant for giving up his time today to assist with the clean-up. His help, together with his brush and shovel, was greatly appreciated and helped us finish sooner.

We are aware that a pile of tin cans that has been dumped on the allotment lane at Nicholson Field and this is extremely disappointing to see. The Allotments Team will be attending tomorrow morning, litter pickers at the ready, to collect the cans and take them to Greenbank for recycling.
