REMINDER: sharing our allotment space

Now that the weather is improving the allotment site is getting busy, which is great to see!
Just a reminder about sharing this outdoor space. Please show consideration for your fellow plotholders and for the neighbouring residents. In particular, be aware of:

NOISE — music, radio, power tools, mowers, dogs, children, or any other loud and persistent noise.

One person’s choice of music may not be someone else’s!

BOUNDARIES —don’t leave tools, weeds, clippings, etc. on boundaries or extend over them with constructions or compost heaps.

Access should always be maintained along the boundaries.

Water supply

At the EWAA site the mains supply is usually switched on when the clocks move forward to British Summer Time, so water will be flowing from the taps again this Sunday 26th March. However, if further severe frosts are forecast it will go off again until temperatures rise. The cold this winter has caused quite a bit of damage to pipes and taps, so please email the Committee on contact @ewaa.org.uk if you notice any leaks or drips.

Remember, never wash tools or vegetables in the shared water tanks because that can spread disease.

EWAA Work Party: Sunday 26th March

All members are encouraged to help at the EWAA Work Party on Sunday 26th March. We will be clearing brush and tidying up around the site.
There will be two sessions, so please join whichever one suits you, meeting up outside the Shop at 10.00 a.m. or at 12.30 p.m.
Bring sturdy gloves and whatever tools you have — secateurs, loppers, rake, wheel barrow, etc.

Thank you!
EWAA Committee

Shop reopening – Sunday 26th Feb!

Fresh seed stocks arrive this month, so the EWAA Shop will be open on Sunday 26th February, from 10am to mid-day. We will be selling a good range of seed potatoes, and vegetable, herb, green manure, and flower seeds, all at very reasonable prices. More details will appear on the Shop page once stocks arrive.

You can also borrow gardening books from the Shop, and visit to discuss idea and challenges with your fellow plot-holders.

Thank you for supporting the EWAA!
