Weed killer should never be used on an allotment site. Weeding is part of having an allotment. You weed for yourself, and your neighbours. And if everyone weeds, that will cut down on the weeds. Weed killer is a lazy option, and it kills all crops. You must speak to your committee. Weed killer will effect everyone.

With oinions when they start to swell up remove the soil from around the oinion just run you finger around the edge and this helps them even further to swell and you'll get bigger oinions

Amazing how fast watering becomes the main issue instead of too much rain. It’s such a shame we have to net so many things because there’s nothing nicer than seeing all the love.y green growth, but needs must.

Talk to your neighbour, find out what issues they have and express yours, if they have an allotment they should be versed in how life grows and be mindful of your way too... might become friends or to the death enemies, but a chat is the first port of call because not knowing where theyre at or what they are doing will wreck your head and get yiz up to a wrong start

For my squash’s, I put a few terracota pots in the ground and fill it with water for the really hot periods. Will save having to do a trip every day. If you get the cheap ones from b&q and just plug the hole with bathroom sealant, keeps the cost down. Also, I would definitely mention something about the weed killer. If it’s not in the rules maybe you could say if you do, please ensure you cover that area straight after. I find when you give people alternatives, they are far more likely to help. I know you shouldn’t have to and it must be really annoying! I hope you manage to get it sorted!

If there's nothing against using weedkiller in the allotment rules, it probably is a bit hard to do anything about it. I think you should be ok (other than the annoying weed seed blow over). Astro turf is horrendous... I find it baffling that people who want to do gardening want to have anything to do with it. Good luck with your pumpkins. I have had (excessive) success with butternut pumpkin two years in a row now but after making a number of pumpkin pies I decided to look up what sort of pumpkin is normally used in them and found the variety... then... naturally... went online and tracked down where I could get some seed and bought them (and some flowers to go with the order). The plot is looking smashing!

@HouseOfTedYT 2 ай бұрын

Yeah we’ll see how we get on, annoying but not sure how much we can do about it! Haha I’m so excited for pumpkins!!! I’ve never actually eaten a pumpkin though, but there’s a first for everything 😁🧡

@cpoco 2 ай бұрын

@@HouseOfTedYT there are quite a few different varieties of pumpkin so if you don't like the one you've grown it could be the variety... I never used to like pumpkin but it was brought to my attention that my mum used to get a poor quality now we grow butternut and it's quite nice.

Sorry to disagree with so many of the comments but at times weed killer is a god send. and there are so many types.including some where you can plant where it has been used in acouple of days.or how about the ones that kill weeds in lawns but not the grass.and as a retired gardener I should know.and as one of the commentators stated what do you think farmers use? so don't get disheartened and when you get into your allotment and shut the gate your in your own little world.

Put a sign on the weed-sprayed allotment explaining why it's a bad idea and how it affects other people. Not like a big sign, just something stuck in the ground and covered with a plastic bag in case it rains. They won't know who put it there. If they ask you about it you can say someone put one on your allotment also, and a few others.

I would be super annoyed, to be honest. I have an allotment for growing organic produce, and those nasty chemicals will indeed leach into your soil. Please have a word with the committee. I'm sure they would be okay with using weed killer if applied directly to one plant with a brush for example, but not to the entire plot; that is absolutely disgusting. I don't understand people who do that sort of thing.
