Joey our IER volunteer has cut down all the overgrown brush in one section of the Orchard Haslingden yesterday. Creates a lot more room. Exciting prospects ahead

Joy McCarthy and friend did a litter pick at the Orchard Haslingden yesterday to clear the area of sharp / dangerous objects in readiness for the area to be cleared of brush and brambles. One section at a time as there is a lot to be cleared. We hope to get it ready for planting fruit bushes and insect pollinators. 4 bags collected.Photos from Incredible Edible Rossendale's post

Where the plot is situated at Loveclough. Bus stop Goodshaw AVE North Photos show where to turn and park if travelling by car. About 3 miles out of Rawtenstall on Burnley rd.Photos from Incredible Edible Rossendale's post

Visited Loveclough allotments today with Stuart Hargreaves who has created a lovely spot to grow some vegetables and fruits. Situated just off the main road on main bus route from Rawtenstall to Burnley 3 miles out of Rawtenstall. X43 stops just before lane. There are 2 entrances one by the yellow barrier good for car parking and one before near some garages quicker by foot. Watch the 2 videos and if you are interested in growing this year leave a message on this site or email us on [email protected]. Stuart is quite happy to meet you and show you around.Photos from Incredible Edible Rossendale's post

You can make seed containers out of anything. Plastic tubing from water pipes cut open and sealed with tape on cut end to avoid sharp ends placed in a deep tray. Thought up by Joy McCarthy a volunteer.
