Advice for Plot Holders
Thinking about putting a shed on your site?
Water use on your allotment
Fires
Dogs
The Town Council, do allow dogs on the sites but ask that they are kept under control and on the lead at all times.
Please remember to bring dog waste bags with you to clear up. There is a dog waste bin at Pages Field and there is one by the car park at Alwins Field.
Useful advice: Dogs in the Garden
Cars
Whilst cars are very useful and have their place, it's often not a good idea to bring them into the allotments.
Tenants are advised to only bring a car onto the allotments when absolutely necessary e.g. delivering something really heavy.
Most things can be transported from the car park using a wheelbarrow. If you haven't got one, then perhaps a neighbour will lend you theirs.
Biohazzard
Anything the books tell you to burn should not be put into the compost bin but taken home for the green bin. This includes diseased plants, potato and tomato waste, couch grass, bind weed and dock.
Useful advice : Biosecurity
What to do with it all?
Compost on plot
Bedfordshire compost bin offer
Building your own compost bin
Bag it and remove. If you bag it in strong plastic bags, it can then be taken off site for disposal.
Burn it
Bonfires are discouraged and given the proximity of the housing you can understand why. So let's not annoy the neighbours.
Basically anything that would in the past have been put on the bonfire now needs to go in your domestic green bin
