Green, organic or what??
People are interested to know about
this, because more and more people feel that Organic is the best
way.
Members and other tenants are free to use whatever methods of
cultivation they like. 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.
Experienced Organic members will be pleased to talk with new
plotholders/members
about starting to go organic and about problems and their own
solutions.
“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 which will be progressively more organic..
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.
