As winter arrives, you will have a lot less work to do at your allotment. If you are in need of a place to store your equipment, our storage in Watford is perfect for you. 

Our storage in Watford is located on Cherry Tree Road, right next to Cherry Tree Allotments so we are in a privileged spot to see the amazing benefits that come with renting an allotment. 

How is having an allotment good for you?

A study conducted by the University of Sheffield found that having an allotment benefits our well-being and mental health in a huge way. All of the volunteers recorded high levels of social activities including knowledge exchange and interaction with animals, emotional connection to their allotment, appreciation for being outdoors and delight at the natural world. 

Allotments are also an excellent and cost-effective way to get plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits within your meals and snacks. People with allotments are more likely to get their five-a-day fruit and vegetables than people who don’t have an allotment. Then there is the fact that you can choose what you put into your soil, allowing you to grow your vegetables organically, without any of the chemicals found on shop-bought fruits and vegetables. 

As winter creeps up on us, the amount of things that you can grow and do on your allotment decreases by quite a bit. Here’s where we can help, by offering storage to any allotmenteer who wants to slow down the work they do on their plot over the winter months.

What to do on your allotment in winter

Although there are jobs that can be done throughout winter, November and December can be the months for simply pruning dormant trees and bushes and for preparing your soil for the spring by clearing out weeds and adding compost and/or manure. 

It is also a really good idea to cover your allotment plot with a garden fleece or even just an old blanket. This will give the compost and/or manure a chance to rot down before anything new is added in spring which will greatly improve the soil. 

If you find that you have done all this and there are still many months until spring arrives on the 21st of March and you want to store all your equipment somewhere safe and secure, our storage in Watford is the perfect place.
