Re: ALLOTMENT ASSOCIATION MACHINERY

I am not sure that stands up legally. If the committee or association organises that then they are surely overall responsible?

Re: ALLOTMENT ASSOCIATION MACHINERY

I think if you have a disclaimer, in some way you are taking responsibility, by stating you are not responsible for a potential problem you are acknowledging that a problem might exist, and therefore that you should cover that problem, but you are choosing not to. Then you have COVID, but I think th...

ALLOTMENT ASSOCIATION MACHINERY

We have a communal lawnmower and a small 4 stroke rotavator (Honda) on site. In years gone by we have just let people use it as and when they wanted. But the dreaded health and safety question has raised it's head. Who is responsible, does the equipment need a safety certificate / record of servicin...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

The weather has been amazing here in Somerset. Ground now dry enough to dig and crumbles perfectly when turned. Just off up there now for another day of bliss.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Well I used magazines - a single sheet folded in half vertically is the perfect size. If it was say the telegraph it would work too but I think you would get several pots out of one page. On the subject of fish and chips, I paid £8.50 the other night which included a small bottle of pop. Showing you...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Out for a walk today and it was so cold, although only around 0 to -1 or 2c, but the cold breeze on your face. Brrr, I experienced that brain freeze you get from eating a very cold ice cream too quick. Bring on the next weather phase, a bit of 'dreich' as the Scots say.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Hi Geoff - yes a small kettle will get to almost boiling point after about 40 minutes, it then needs a minute on my gas burner to boil it, the other day though I managed to get soup to boil, there must be a scientific reason for that. I often cook up the allotment, and the shelf is excellent for war...
