Hi. We've decided to stay at home today due to the bad weather! Hope to see you next Friday or Saturday!
It was lovely to have so much help at the allotment this week![]()
Thanks everyone, it's made a big difference
Hello friends, sorry we haven't given you an update in quite some time.![]()
It's been a really tough few months for everyone, especially those at Constable street.![]()
This has meant that the site is becoming difficult to manage and is becoming over grown.![]()
We really need some people to come help us get the site back to a place where we can cope and then come back in the spring fresh and ready to go again.![]()
If you think you could help us our volunteer days are a Friday and Saturday 10:30-3 every week.![]()
In return for your help you can share the harvest and learn how to grow food to the permaculture principles on a well established urban permaculture site with Hull's leading mentor on the practice, Lausanne Tranter.![]()
If you are interested in getting involved we would love to hear from you.![]()
Please drop Lausanne a text message on![]()
07816 141169 to find out more.![]()
Even if you can't physically help out on site please could you share this post so we can spread the word that we are in desperate need of some help!!![]()
Thanks
The allotment looking full of life at the moment. Since we can't have visitors at the moment, here are some photos. We've had five frogs in the pond and lots of frogspawn! There's plenty of colour around too. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can open our gates to the public again after lockdown.![]()

It was a wet and windy February, but that didn't stop us being busy at the allotment. A pruning workshop gave our 40 fruit trees a trim and we now have an army of scarecrows keeping guard of our no-dig veg beds. Meanwhile, our hot bed is up to 44 degrees Celsius, helping us with our germination.![]()

What a good weekend to give the polytunnel a good clean and get rid of 3 years worth of algae growth. Using an old quilt cover knotted together, water and eco-friendly detergent, the flossing method worked well - we were able to reach parts on the top. It's amazing how much more light comes in now!![]()

Another excellent workshop with Mike Kinnes at Constable Allotment. This time how to prune fruit trees. Fascinating and in depth theory followed by a good pruning session of 40 apple / pear trees at our orchard. A very enjoyable day.![]()
