Organic or not?

Green, organic or what??

Members and tenants are free to use whatever methods of cultivation they like. There are no specially "organic" plots. Most members are pretty "green" in the way they compost and use the free horse manure available on Cowpasture, but all members are equally important, there is no "party line" on such matters.



“Organic” plots?

It is not possible to ask for a plot which is organic. There are no guarantees about what methods were previously used on any given plot. People with strong organic ideas can use organic methods for the three years which it takes to make a plot really organic, and not come to any harm eating their produce.

 

Many new tenants and members come to allotment gardening because they want organic veg on their table, so there is a good deal of support for the idea and the methods.


This plot won a prize!
