Dear fellow S & F plot holders
Allotment tap (Flickr)
We have received a kind offer from Jo’s son (Greg, the plumber!) to put in some additional taps into the site to alleviate the need to walk to and fro from the tap with watering cans which can become quite tiresome come the summer.
The idea would be to run a pipe down the central path on the site. We would need to dig the trench but of course we are all expert trench diggers. Greg could then either put in 2 or 3 taps where required down the path at stations OR even put a tap against each plot. 2/3 taps would cost approximately £20 per plot holder with the latter costing around £40 per plot holder if everybody wanted their own. If you had your own tap you might be able to set-up a permanent irrigation system!
If people can consider the above and let me know their feelings then we can move this forwards.
Cheers
David, plot #3

Hi David,
We’d be happy to have an extra couple of taps, and if everyone wanted their own tap we’d go along with that too. Good idea!
Thanks,
Mari (plot 4)
OK thanks Mari, I’ll make a note of that. See you on the site soon.
hi david

If we want to do the new water outlets we need to do it before the ground on the paths gets too hard to dig!
