Our allotment AGM today and we made a significant step towards increased biodiversity on our site. Agreeing in principle to allow small-scale ponds on individual allotment plots.

We need to agree the specifics of the ponds that will be allowed (size, depth, materials used, sustainability, location etc) but provided plot holders meet this criteria they will be allowed small ponds on site next year.

Exciting to absolutely no one but me BUT I finally managed to build a proper composting area yesterday. With bays I’ll be able to turn my compost regularly which will speed up decomposition. I’ve been tight for space with the one half but already enjoying the wiggle room that comes with a full plot #allotment
