TRIP TO CROSSLAND NURSERY (Walberton)
Wednesday 11 September 2019 Visit a Nursery specialising in Alstroemerias
|
We have organised this visit after several members heard a talk given by Ben Cross while on the WAGA trip in 2018. Ben and his family own Crosslands Nursery at Walberton and he will tell you about the history of his family in horticulture and give a full insight into how they grow, harvest, maintain and process their British Alstroemeria.
Ben will talk about heating and irrigating the crop, storing, packing and sending the flowers around the UK. He will also discuss the big differences between British flowers and imported flowers. Flowers will be for sale at the end of the tour for just £2.50 a bunch. 3 The tour starts at 6.30 and lasts about 1.5 hours. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for wheelchair users and you will need to be on your feet for the whole tour. |
|
All you pay is £15 per head for the minibus to take you there and back and for the tour. We will be stopping at The Worlds End public house on the way home for a short time.

We will be having plant sales/swaps at all 3 shops this weekend. We would be grateful for any spare plants or seedlings you have spare. Come along and buy from others or swap for something you haven't grown.
Slug Pellets: If you usually use slug pellets containing Metaldehyde you will not be able to buy them anywhere after 30th June. We have some in stock in all 3 shops, but will not be replacing them once we have sold out.
Alternatives are: environmentally friendly slug pellets which we have in stock, egg shells, coffee grounds, grit.

Annual Dinner
The Annual Dinner was held at the Indoor Bowls Club, Field Place on 16th February and, as usual, was a really enjoyable evening. Good surroundings, good food, good company, a real fun quiz and raffle of some super prizes. The only problem is that you, almost certainly, were not there! We have over 500 members but only 20 were there, along with partners and guests a total of 42. Enough for a good evening but we should have been sold out twice over, after all, eating out is the nation's favourite leisure pastime. Your Committee worked hard to put on this, the main social event of the year but sadly it was rejected by 96% of the membership. We would really like to know what we are doing wrong and how we can persuade you to come next year. Please let us have your views.

Seed Potatoes:
This seasons seed potatoes will be in the shops this weekend. If you have pre-ordered we will have your order set aside, but if you haven't we will have a good range of stock for you to buy. All nets will be £3 which is really reasonable compared to other sources. Dont leave it too late as these sell out really quickly.
Care of seed potatoes and onion/shallot sets: When you get these home remove them from the bag/net and set them out in a cool, not too cold room out of direct sunlight. Egg boxes are ideal for potatoes. Potatoes will start to chit (grow shoots) fairly soon ready for planting when the soil warms up.

Shop News
We would like to wish a very Happy New Year to all of our lovely volunteers and customers.
We would also like to say a big thank you to John Sadler who has run the shop at West Tarring for several years. John has decided to stand down from this role so he can have more free time. He transformed the shop into a welcoming well stocked place which members enjoy visiting. He has given his time regularly most weekends and for numerous hours during the week keeping it clean, tidy and orderly. He will really be missed, but has agreed to still cover some duties. The shop will now be run jointly by Angie Hewitt and Janet Robins.
It is now too late to pre-order seed potatoes, but dont worry when they are delivered at the end of the month there will be plenty to choose from. We will let you know when they are in the shops via this website/Facebook/noticeboards.

Autumn planting onions and garlic have been ordered and will be in all 3 shops from end of August/beginning of September.
Prices as for last year
Onions £1.30 per lb
Senshyu
Large size flattened globe shape
Red Winter
This variety produces red onions which may contain some pink off types.
Garlic £1.30 per bulb
Vallelado (softneck)
Originating in the region of Northern Spain. Cultivated in a much cooler climate than most Spanish garlic, it grows well in the UK. We recommend this garlic for its growing vigour, size and fat juicy cloves. 8-10 cloves per bulb.
Carcassone Wight (hardneck)
Exceptional, pink cloved hardneck showing great vigour in UK climate. Good skin cover, great strength and carry through coupled with superior (in our opinion) bouquet and character. 12-14 cloves per bulb.
Iberian Wight (softneck)
Originating from the Cordoba region of Spain. Has large white skinned juicy cloves with good keeping qualities and excellent flavour. Harvest from June. Keeps until January.. 10-14 cloves per bulb.
Red Duke (hardneck)
Bright white skins with fierce and spicy flavours are the signatures of this exotic hardneck from the Czech Republic. Plump purple cloves and hotter and stronger than any of the commonly planted garlic in the UK. 8-10 cloves per bulb.
Elephant garlic £1 per clove
Can grow to 150mm across and weigh over a kilo. It has a warm mild garlic flavour and is increasingly popular with those who like to make a statement in their cooking or impress fellow growers.

I am sure by now you will have heard of these new regulations that came into force on the 25th of May 2018. Possibly you may have wondered why you have not received an email or a letter from WAGA asking you to tick or sign something. Fortunately for and Association like WAGA we can use the legal basis known as “Legitimate interest” which means we don’t need to email our existing members for new consent. We need to store your data in a secure fashion (password protected) and only keep it as long as we legitimately need it. We also need a mechanism that allows our members to unsubscribe from communications or ask us to never contact them again (Please don’t do that). There are a few other bits and pieces but nothing to arduous. That is about it, so not so bad really.

Plastics
At the moment there is lots in the news about the blight of plastic and lots of pressure on us all to use it less and recycle it where possible.
Since getting an allotment, I have noticed ways in which people are very creative with unwanted materials and thought it would be interesting to find different ways of using plastic rather than discarding it. At West Tarring allotments we have several examples of this, some practical and others which are really creative. I thought it would be interesting to share these and ask other people to pass on other useful ideas to our members.

>You can line a compost bin with used compost bags. This helps the bin to heat up and create compost quicker.

If you’re not ready to give up on Metaldehyde slug pellets (The blue ones) here is another way to recycle plastic. Make a slug trap. The top is from a fruit juice bottle. The pellet holder is a milk bottle cap. Both threaded onto a six-inch nail and are separated by some transparent tubing. The top shields the pellets from the rain so no blue liquid forms and the pellets can last for a couple of months. It works very effectively with just for or five pellets and if used in a netted area there is very little chance that poisoned slugs will be eaten by birds or mammals.

Organic Slug/Pest Treatments available in the Association Shops
Now is the time when we all become obsessed with protecting our plants from and getting rid of a variety of nasty pests. Top of the list is always slugs. We all hate them and they can do terrible damage which is so frustrating.
What is also awful is the damage we can do to our local wildlife if we use non-organic ways of treating this problem. At Chesswood Farm site, they recently found 3 dead hedgehogs. These may or may not have been poisoned by people using ordinary slug pellets.
You can always tell if non-organic pellets have been used as the ground has dead bodies and lots of nasty slimy mess! These dead slugs will be eaten by hungry birds who take them to their nests, or by hedgehogs looking for food. It would be so much better all round if they caught live slugs to eat and then they would live to do the same the next day!
If you use organic slug pellets, the slugs go underground to die, so no dead bodies and no nasty slime!
Don’t believe people who say these products do not work. I have been using them for the last 10 years at the allotments at West Tarring and they are very effective.
You can also use other products to invigorate your plants to make them more resistant to attack. We sell several organic alternatives to tradition products in all of our shops.
Organic slug pellets - £3/£4.60
Organic weedkiller - £5.50/£15
Grazers plant invigorator whitefly/slug - £4.30
SB Invigorator - £3
Although, other products may be cheaper to buy, if you encourage wildlife safely to your plot it will help you by eating unwanted bugs and pests week after week.
Janet Robins
Trading Secretary
Further information on slug pellets:
Using organic pellets is the best way to avoid the unintentional poisoning of Hedgehogs. There are 2 types of chemical used in blue pellets Metaldehyde and Methiocarb. The less common methiocarb is about ten times more poisonous than metaldehyde, thus posing far greater danger to other animals, so avoid those. Research indicates that Hedgehogs are not likely to be harmed by eating slugs that have been poisoned by Methaldehyde, (see study @ https://ptes.org/hedgehog-papers/gemmeke-1995-hedgehog-metaldehyde-pesticides-secondary-poisoning-slugs/ ). The problem is more likely to be caused by poor application of the poison by placing it in piles where large quantities can eaten directly or it could become stuck to a food source such as bread or the body of a dead slug.

News 20 March 2018: Winston Seed Potatoes:
Important notice for anyone who sourced Winston seed potatoes from the WAGA shops this year. Our supplier has advised that their stocks of this variety have had to be withdrawn as the potatoes are infected with a fungal disease. The potatoes should be burnt or thrown away, do not add them to your compost heap, and if you've already put them in the ground then it would be wise to lift them again.
This only affects the Winston first earlies, all other varieties are safe to use.
If you did buy some then please go to your nearest shop for a refund, but don't bring the spuds with you! Sorry for any inconvenience.

News 02 August 2017: Visits for next summer.
We are considering a cunning plan for next July. A large group - perhaps a coach taking 50 people, can visit Loseley Park during the day. This could be quite cheap - perhaps £5 plus coach fare, A smaller group - maximum 20 - can combine this with a visit to Hogsback Brewery just along the road. That would be more expensive at an extra £15 but include a sampling session. The brewery group would start innocently at the gardens, slide off for their extras then slide back again a couple of hours later in time to take the air and rejoin the main party before being be driven home.
To secure places we need to book in advance so what we need now is an idea of how many people would (a) be interested in Loseley park (b) be interested in the brewery addition. We won’t ask for money yet and won’t hold you to it at this stage, but we need a fair idea of serious interest to take the gamble.
