We
started the allotment project in April 2009 and whilst
we had a reasonable success with some vegetables, starting
so late in the season put us at a great disadvantage.
The plot is part of the allotment association in Bognor
Regis and whilst small will form the basis of a larger
plan to include members of the Goddess Foundation who
have their own gardens and growing areas.
Our
aim this year is to add a greenhouse to the plot and to
make the growing area as bio-sensitive and environmentally
sound as possible. The greenhouse will be built using
pressure treated timber and triple wall rigid sheeting,
to keep the costs down to a minimum. We aim to experiment
with solar panels on the roof area using our own system
incorportaing a large black rigid plastic sheeting and
old double grazing panels. The project will need a few
extra hands to construct the greenhouse and some of the
growing area is still covered in couch grass. The task
is to clear everything this year and use recycled kitchen
waste to fertilise the ground.
