This page tells you what we and FEDAGA organise to provide goods to you cheaply and conveniently.

Leaves, wood chip, and compost

There are sometimes leaves, wood chip, and compost available for free from the communal bays.  

Potatoes, onions, leeks, zoo poo, and dry goods in bulk

We organise the purchase of these goods on behalf of our members.  We do not sell to the general public.  It's really just a communal purchase scheme. Ignore any information FEDAGA sends out about ordering.  We can't use their scheme because we order so much we can't collect it from Inverleith.

We organise yearly pre-purchasing of potatoes and onions, leek seedlings, and bulk goods such as compost.  We usually have some spare potatoes and onions for sale first come first served.  We also usually organise a yearly delivery of zoo poo.  We charge for zoo poo as we have to pay for haulage.

The schedule is roughly: 

• Potatoes and onions - order Aug-Sep, delivered third week of February 

• Leeks - order Jul-Aug, delivered June

• Zoo poo - delivered Oct; no pre-orders but sales are rationed at first to give everyone a chance.

• Dry goods in bulk - order Nov-Dec, delivered in January

These dates may change.  We have to work with what suppliers and our volunteers can do.

Dry Goods - Honesty Box Scheme

The following dry goods are for sale from the metal container outside the Chalet.  Small quantities in plastic tubs priced at £1 or 50p.  

Blood Fish & Bone:  Quick acting fertiliser valued for vegetable and salad crops

Growmore:  Balanced fertiliser suitable for top dressing before planting.  Good all-round.

Bonemeal:  Slow acting fertiliser.  Suitable for soil preparation promotes strong root growth.

Garden lime:  Breaks up heavy soil.  Corrects acidity.  Stops club root.

What is each fertiliser for?

• Blood Fish & Bone 4N, 7P, 6K

• Growmore 7N, 7P, 7K

• Bonemeal 4N, 20P, 0K

N = Nitrogen For leaf growth

P = Phosphorus For strong roots

K = Potassium For fruit and flowers

How to pay

Details in container outside Chalet.  We would prefer if payment was by BACS.  If that's not possible pay by cash using the honesty box.

Please reference your name and plot number followed by DG to signify dry goods.  This scheme relies on plotholders' honesty.  Please pay promptly.  

Returning the tubs

Please return the tubs, and don't bend the lids to shove them inside as they often won't close again.  We welcome the donation of the very sturdy kind of one kilo yogurt and peanut butter tubs to use in the shop.
