Bagged composts and fertilisers.
All
our
composts
and
fertilisers
are
kept
under
cover,
unlike
many
local
garden
centres.
This
means
that
they
won’t
be
overly
wet
and will be easier to handle.
Richard
Suter,
our
stock
manager,
is
aiming
to
increase
the
range
of
organic
and
sustainable
(such
as
peat
free
composts)
products.
Our
new
stock
includes:
Farmyard
Manure
@
£4.50
and
Peat-
free vegetable compost @£5.50 a bag.
Which fertilisers to apply in early spring.
There’s
no
point
in
applying
fertiliser
when
plants
aren’t
growing
actively,
but
slow
release
organic
fertilisers
can
be
used
in
early
spring
in
preparation
for
growing
vegetable
crops.
For
this
purpose
we
stock
Poultry
manure
pellets
and
Fish,
Blood
and
Bone.
At
the
Hut
we
have
leaflets
to
guide
you
in
the
use
of
fertilisers,
both organic and inorganic.

Distribution Hut
Given
the
current
government
'stay
at
home'
guidance
we
do
not
feel
that
we
can
open
the
Distribution
Hut
in
January
as
planned.
At
the
time
of
writing,
we
are
unsure
when
we
will
be
able
to
open,
but
it
will
not
be
until
sometime
in
February
at
the
earliest.
We
will
send
an
email
with
an
update
during
February.
Hopefully,
by
then,
we
will
have
a
firm
date
for
opening.
In
the
meantime,
we are busy restocking the hut so that we have what you will need for the new season ahead.
For those who have a Kings seed order, we will contact you individually to arrange for collection of
your order. These will be available beginning February with 40% of costs returned as voucher to
spend at the Hut.
We
are
due
to
have
our
seed
potatoes
delivered
to
us
by
early
February,
so
we
will
also
update
you,
via email, regarding these and other seasonal items.
