There's plenty of long meadow grass to practice scything with at Growers Row!

It's been great fun working our way across the grass. We have had new learners giving it a go, as well as more experienced mowers.

If you are interested in learning about scything, or want to connect to others who scythe, and may be interested in Peening Day next spring, please get in contact: [email protected]

A busy day at Growers Row yesterday: harvesting and clearing half of the polytunnel, sowing seeds, and preparing for soil improvements with the microbially composted tea!

Recipe: rainwater and a good scoop of compost; let it brew for one week and water all beds with it.

All the food grown at Growers Row is organic, with no chemical sprays. Volunteers go home with bags of delicious, freshly picked produce. And the surplus is available to the Rutland Community Fridges in Oakham on Wednesdays.

Join us next week - either drop in or message ahead. Transport can be arranged if needed; email ahead to [email protected]

Growers Row Shared Garden is open to all every Wednesday (10am - 3pm)

With gentle Tai Chi-based movements, scything is great exercise and an environmentally friendly alternative to machinery.

Join us in the meadow on Wednesday; the weather forecast is looking dry, perfect for cutting grass.

We had a lovely day at Growers Row harvesting beans, tomatoes, more sweetcorn and threading up garlic. Everyone went home with a bag of delicious tomatoes and other freshly picked treats.

A group of us came up with a list of things we each love about this garden, and then we put it all together into a paragraph on the blackboard wall.

Thirsty plants and trees were watered, and beds that are now past it were cleared using the cut-and-drop method, which helps mulch, improve the soil, and lock in moisture.

A great day had by all!

Growers Row Shared Garden is open to all every Wednesday (10am - 3pm)
Enter via the bypass gate in Summer and in Winter via Rutland Showground

Transport can be arranged if needed, email ahead to [email protected]
