Community Roots- Social Horticulture for Experts and Dummies (SHED) Grow at Home
Summary
Description
We are applying for £1000.
Rough guide costs per large container which will house a couple of Mini Munch cucumber plants, 2 tumbling tom tomato plants, or a courgette plant/2 kales/1 broccoli plant/mixed salad with radishes and spring onions, etc For a 35litre trug with compost and pearlite for £15 per filled pot
or 15litre pots/trugs with 1 tumbling tom tomato plant/1 mini-munch cucumber/several lettuces/1kale/ with compost and pearlite around £5 per filled pot
+Seaweed (organic) concentrate fertiliser filled from plastic drinks bottles that people can bring to us around £8 per filled pot
+Seeds between £1-3 per person (some are specialist varieties we have tried out this year to check for size, yield and taste)
Participants will be able to choose several plants and a start up kit that suits them and their gardens best.
If the average take up was a 3 trug start-up per person then we estimate that we would have enough funds to secure £55 per household for 18 households. We anticipate people taking up a mixture of pots/trugs and some only taking 1 of either. We think around half of participants will be Village Larder customers.
