- Very secure
- Fully insulated so warmer in the winter
- Boarded so easier to repaint inside.

1. GARDENS AND ALLOTMENTS COMPETITIONS
Here is an invitation to enter our annual competitions for
Best Front Garden
Best kept Allotment
Most Improved Allotment (open to tenants in their first full year)
There are many good plots out there that the judges would love to see and as we are an Association of gardeners there must be plenty of inspiring front gardens waiting to win the cash prizes.
For gardens, the judges take into account the condition of plants, colour and harmony, design and layout, lasting potential and cleanliness (weed free).
On allotments they look at quality of crops, condition of plot eg weed free, environmental approach to production and diversity of crops. Please have a go, it cost you nothing and the odds of winning are high. The application form is at the end of this edition and the closing date is Sunday 1st July.
2. ANNUAL SHOW
Our "Great Village Show" is at Oak Grove College again this year on Saturday 1st. September. This is later than usual to avoid clashing with the Worthing Horticultural Society's summer show. You can find everything you need to know in the show schedule, copies of which are now in our shops, so pick one up and get involved. It is our main event of the year and has something for everyone, fruit, vegetables, flowers, flower arranging, cooking, craft, photography and wine. If you are new to shows, that is no problem, we have a novice section just for you, so please take part it really is fun. As usual we have a section for children, so please make sure your children and grandchildren take part, we know they love it.
There will be all the usual sales stalls and the refreshments will again include tea and homemade cakes and a barbeque. As usual, the award winning gardens will be open for you to stroll around and the children's play area will be available to keep the youngsters amused.
Of course, a big event like this relies on many willing hands, and although we have a wonderful team, we always need more hands to spread the load so if can help in any way for part of the time please ring me on 01293 243216 or e mail jackpowis@hotmail.co.uk. I look forward to hearing from you.
See you there.

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.

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.

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.

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.
