About Platt Fields Allotments
Tucked behind Platt Fields Park, these allotments occupy a surprisingly tranquil space amid the busy Fallowfield neighbourhood. The clay loam soil is productive and has been improved by successive generations of gardeners working the heavy Manchester clay into a workable medium. The park's mature trees provide shelter, and the lake nearby maintains local humidity levels that benefit leafy crops. A mix of long-term tenants and newer student-influenced growers creates an eclectic and productive site.
PGT Repairs has supported the Platt Fields allotment community with practical equipment advice as well as professional servicing. Paul has provided beginner-friendly guidance to newer plot holders who are unfamiliar with petrol machinery, covering basic operation, safety, and maintenance. His willingness to explain rather than simply fix has made him a valued resource for this diverse growing community.
For allotment holders at Platt Fields Allotments (8 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.
