Flooding

Flodded plot

One of the great things about our community is the experience, knowledge and helpfulness of its members.

Following the recent, unprecedented flooding, a number of you have shared with me how you have coped with flooding in the past.

You have built raised beds; added organic material to raise soil levels; worked the ground so it is not compacted; and improved drainage and water capture.

The National Allotment Society have more guidance on their website and I have included the link to their flooding information sheet below.
