SUSTAINABILITY

Always keeping the health of the planet in mind, it's vital to keep any negative impact on the environment to a minimum.

SOWING & GROWING

All plants are sown and grown in Soil Association approved organic, peat free compost.

Plant food is strictly homemade nettle or comfrey feed, or organic liquid seaweed.

WATERING

There are numerous water butts placed all around our plot. They collect enough rainwater to contribute greatly to the total water we use to water little our plants.

Did you know? ... Rainwater benefits plants as it contains small amounts of minerals and is slightly acidic. This slight acidity helps to release the minerals to the plants and so makes rainwater a more nutritious option than other types of water.

WORKING TOWARDS ZERO PLASTIC

In line with current advice, care is taken to re-use all remaining plastic seed and plug trays. As they reach the end of their lives and are no longer fit for use, they are replaced with sustainable alternatives like these natural rubber seed trays.
