Give your onions a boost with our onion fertilizers to grow the best onions. Onions are heavy feeders so giving them a boost of fertiliser will keep them healthy. All dry fertilisers should be worked or watered into the top 3 to 5 inches of soil. Using a hoe gently work the fertilizer into the soil so it can leach down towards the plant root zones. You have to be careful and not damage the onions when working fertilizers into the soil.
We sell onion fertilizer at a stores shop at £1.75 per KG. All money taken goes back into the running of the site
Give your potatoe plants a boost with granular fertilizer. This can be applied to the soil and either watered in, or using a hoe to leach down towards the plant root zones. For bumper crops and healthy potatoes.
We sell potatoe fertilizer at our stores shop priced at £1.60 per KG. All money taken goes back in to the running of the site.
We want to know who is responsible for fly tipping this wood on the embankment opposite the allotment gates on St Anthony’s Drive. We have an agreement with Leeds City Council if any trees are cut on the parimeter fence which hinders parents and children accessing St Anthony’s drive to go to school, they will take them away which they have done recently. Someone has placed all these rotten pallets and wood on the embankment which is totally unacceptable. Whoever has done this needs to remove them as this is actually fly tipping and our site will possibly be fined. It also might suggest to people that anybody can dump rubbish there and they certainly must not. I arrived on site at 8.30 this morning and all the wood wasn’t there. I came back on site at 2pm and it was there. Can the person or persons responsible move it as a matter of urgency. This isn’t a good look for our site.

We are in the process of the gate being looked at again by Andy Rowell at Leeds City Council. The bar that you pull accross where the lock sits is difficult to open. Leeds City Council have been to the gate and cemented the gate post last week as it became loose in the ground. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. We have another entrance to the site if members prefer that option. The committee are aware of the situation.
Lawrence and Sue on plot 44N are getting a team in to cut the trees over hanging on their plot. The work will be taking place this Sunday 14th April. Can members not park outside the gate, so the area is clear. The trees will be taken down to fence height. Please can all plot holders be vigilant coming on to site, and leaving site. The trees make there plot too shady. All the work will comply to health and safety regulations.
Hosepipes can only be used to fill up water barrels that you have on your plot. That strictly means hosepipes cant be used to direct water plants or land, it is forbidden on site. Anyone caught using a hosepipe other than filling up a water barrel will be in a strict breach of there tenancy agreement .
