Welcome to the Tring Allotment Fringe wiki.
The Tring Allotment Fringe is a free'er, range'er, organic'er, more rough and tough an organisaton than the Tring Allotment Association. There are some on our Council Of Guardians that have piercings!
Planting & harvesting
Hen Keeping
Treats can include:
- Green leafy veg (spinach, kale, broccoli and lettuce. Greens help give good colour to the yolk)
- Sweetcorn (I sometimes chop up corn on the cob into big chunks and pop them onto a skewer then drive them into the ground. This keeps the hens occupied and helps prevent boredom)
- Fruit (grapes and oranges go down well with mine)
- Pasta and rice
- Bread (white should be avoided)
- Potatoes (must always be cooked) and other root veg
- Cake
- Cheese
- Porridge (particularly good in winter on those bitterly cold days)
- Peanuts (another good treat to give in winter. I blitz mine up in the blender and add a bit of butter.)
- Live mealworm (can be bought online)
