From the Dartford Festival, 1997 ...
- Alan Hewitt from the QED Allotment Group
made bird boxes from waste timber supplied by
the QED Waste Management Group at the 1997
Dartford Festival - boxes which have since been
installed on several of Dartford's allotment
sites. The two groups have also cooperated in
the supply of pallets and other waste timbers
from local businesses to allotment sites for the
construction of raised beds, sheds and compost
bins.

Beating the Drum for Tredegar Allotments
...
QED's Waste Management Group is running a scheme
to recycle clean used sixty gallon drums donated by
Gillingham's Akzo Nobel to allotment sites in the
area for use as rainwater butts. All donations
received are helping to bring additional land back
into vegetable cultivation at
Tredegar Allotments in West
Dartford. The first shipment of twenty-two drums
arrived in March 1999 and have been supplied to
plotholders at the Tredegar,
Wilmot Road and
Dartford Road sites.
