About Glodwick Allotments
A large, well-subscribed site on the hillside above Glodwick, at around 200 metres elevation with sweeping views across the Tame Valley to Ashton and beyond. The heavy Pennine clay soil is challenging to work but highly productive once broken down, yielding excellent brassicas and root vegetables. The exposed position means the site catches the prevailing south-westerly winds, and the growing season is slightly shorter than lowland sites.
Glodwick allotment holders travel seventeen minutes to reach PGT Repairs in Hyde, finding Paul's expertise with heavy-clay machinery problems invaluable. He understands the particular strain that Pennine-edge conditions place on rotavators and mowers, and his advice on equipment suited to heavy soil has helped several new plot holders avoid costly mistakes with underpowered machines.
For allotment holders at Glodwick Allotments (6.5 miles from Hyde), Paul offers affordable collection and delivery. This is especially useful for heavy rotavators and mowers that are difficult to transport in a car.
