For the inevitable cups of teas and coffee

Gas stove, kettle, tea pot and accessories would be appreciated on cold or wet days.

Wire mesh and posts

In order to protect our crops from the local rabbits.

Hand Tools

Hand tools of all types are required by Mudlarks. We would ask for light weight tools in good condition. Tools that enable disabled people to cultivate crops are especially welcome.

Specialised Tools

Timber

Wood is needed to build the many raised beds we wish to construct. It is also needed for compost bins, cold frames, fence posts, gates and cold frames.

Starter Plants

We cannot construct glass houses or polytunnels on site. If you can grow plants in a protected environment for transplating on site please let us know.

Any spare plants deserving a good home

Please contact us if you have any spare plants or seeds.

Leftover seed packets

Scythe

Quieter, cheaper and more beneficial than a petrol brush cutter or strimmer

Help to check on legal compliance

A proactive person to help us keep within the law and warn us of new legislation.

Risk Analysis

We need people with experience or a keen interest in performing risk analysis prior to authorising activities on site. Knowledge of or a willingness to learn about all aspects of health and safety would be a bonus.

Skills & Personal Development Analysis

Every activity performed will be subject to analysis and documented to enable meaningful Trainee development to be achieved. All people with general knowledge of horticulture and domestic activities are very welcome to participate.

Web Page Contributors

In order to make our website as vibrant and informative as possible we welcome all contributions. Any experiences from gardeners and plot holders will be incorporated into the Mudlarks web site.

Calling all botonists, ornothologists, lepidopterists and entomologists

Your talents are wanted to establish a baseline for our Wildlife Survey

Do you have knowledge of makaton or sign language?

We are very keen to enhance our skills. A few hours of your time will be highly valued

Skilled and enthusiastic gardeners wanted

None of us profess to be an expert horticulturalist, or anything approaching it. We would be very grateful for your advice and open to your suggestions.

We urgently need people to help us clear the site of grass and weeds, dig the soil, applying mulch, build raised beds and compost bins. Unlike private allotment holders community allotments do not receive any assistance in clearing the site. The sooner the ground is ready, the sooner we can plant autumn and winter vegetables.

There is no power on site, if you are able to bring petrol-engines equiment with you we would be extremely grateful.
