For only £5 per household per year you can use our Distribution Hut with its wide range of gardening items at reasonable prices

 

Come to the hut on Sunday morning (10am - 12 noon June to February and 9.30am - 12 noon March to May inclusive. ) to buy from our comprehensive range of composts, fertilisers, pesticides, fungicides, ground cover, netting, canes, pots and more.  The helpers in the hut will be pleased to answer your questions and give advice. 

News from the hut Winter 2012

Seed potatoes.  These should arrive at the end of January.  The varieties that have been ordered are: Swift (first early), Lady Christl (late first early), Charlotte (salad and second early), Romano(maincrop) and Desiree(maincrop).  Small amounts of the following ‘specialist’ varieties have also been ordered: Vales Emerald, Vivaldi, Juliette, Valor and Pink Fir Apple.  All the seed comes from Scottish certified stock guaranteed to be free of viruses, and the main varieties will cost only 70p for 10 tubers and specialist varieties a bit more.  Those who have not ordered their seed potatoes are advised to buy early to avoid disappointment. 

Onion sets and shallots.  Round white, pointed white and red onion sets will be available as well as yellow and red shallots (varieties to be confirmed).

Seeds.   January 22nd is the last date on which we can accept seed orders for King’s Seeds.

Growing media, seed trays and tray inserts.  We have all you need to sow seeds and grow on seedlings, with a choice of different ‘composts’ and a variety of different sizes of tray inserts and pots, including fibre pots and Jiffy 7s.  Vermiculite and perlite are both stocked - they aerate, lighten and improve drainage of composts.  Sands and grits, including the popular Cornish grit, can be used for the same purpose.  All may be bought in small or large quantities from 1 kilo upwards.

Advice.  It is hard these days to keep up with the changes in the products available to gardeners.  Many have been withdrawn from sale, and others have been re-formulated.  A file of information about the products sold at the hut, and another about garden pests and diseases, will soon be available to visitors to the hut to help members decide what they need. 

Can you lift and carry and have a few Sunday mornings to spare?  One of our regular helpers has had to drop out for health reasons, so we are a bit short staffed.  Please get in touch if you could help out.
