Do you need to stock up on gardening equipment before we get too far into the new growing season?
Cropwatch Horticulture of Dover is holding an open evening next month where you will be able to buy tools, equipment, fertiliser, pots, seed trays and a range of growing products.
The event takes place at Martin’s Nursery, Poison Cross, Statenborough Lane, Eastry, CT13 0DL, on Monday, March 27 from 6pm to 8pm.
Today’s working party carried on clearing the ground beside the big container so that grass can be sown there in spring.
We had two rotovators in action and a small team of helpers picking up rubble, glass and all manner of other debris in their wake
And this is what it looked like at the end of the morning.
The committee is holding another working party this Saturday (February 18). If you are able to help please meet in the main car park at about 10am.
A 6ft by 8ft greenhouse (with two or three panes of glass broken) and a large compost bin are both on offer free of charge. The owner will help dismantle the greenhouse.
There is some urgency about removal so don’t delay! If you are interested ring 01304 366107.
*Sorry, the greenhouse has now gone.
The committee holds its next meeting on Monday, February 13. If there is anything you would like members to discuss please email the secretary at pearlygran@yahoo.co.uk
