Welcome one and all!

I'm starting out on a half-allotment (Feb 2012), weaving in forest garden & permaculture designs from wherever and whoever I can source them, and throwing in some ideas and experiments of my own, in hope of a fruitful harvest!

Encouraging wildlife into the plot is one of my main aims, and I look forward to any of your comments & messages, questions and answers...let's get started ;o)

Inspiration from (in no particular order):
'Creating a Forest Garden' M. Crawford
'The Forest Garden' R. Hart

Yorks Wildlife Trust's Stirley Farm
Old Sleningford Farm, Rippon
and many, many books and online resources...

All is not well on the plot...

Horror of horrors, I found rat poison loose by my compost bin last week, and another pile heaped under one of my weed-clearing boards, with the poor vole I've been following for the last couple of months sat right in the middle of it. Needless to say I removed what I could find immediately using a trowel & bucket. A few days later & no sign of the vole. So very sad. No communication from the committee to inform people this was happening on their plots. I have sent a stern letter to the allotment committee - I am awaiting the response. Visiting the plot now has lost its charm, somewhat tarnished... :o(

  1. Wow, thats incredible someone interfered with your plot like that and probably killed the vole. That is really rude not to at least tell you what they planned to do or to give you the option not to have the poison put down. On a brighter note, I can't wait to see your allotment when I visit in December! :)
