The water supply is running, but a number of the troughs are quite clogged with earth and debris. The Covid-19 restrictions have prevented site work parties for many months, so if anyone has a bit of time to spare and could clean out a nearby trough, that would be much appreciated.
If you do decide to tackle this spring cleaning task, please leave any frog spawn undisturbed, and deposit the silt on a plot rather than leaving it on the grass lane, because that makes mowing tricky.
Thanks you!

Preparing the troughs for the growing season
Dear All,
Unfortunately the trough near our allotment at 117 has a hole. Is anyone able to fix it?
It is half way up on the south side…obvious if the trough has been filled as it spurts out!
All the best,
Marguerite
I have always found cork bungs useful , they can be whittled to shape and then pressed in to the hole.

Thanks for your great suggestion, Susan – I filled the hole with a piece of cork and it seems to be holding.

Thank you Bridget!
