Wish List
Due to the nature of this project we expect to incur large costs for the first few years while we set up all the necessary infrastructure, acquire the materials, and build the relationships, as well as doing the work of preparing the land for growing vegetables. It will likely be a number of years before our income will start to cover (and ideally repay) these initial investments. With this in mind any help with meeting our requirements at these early stages would be greatly appreciated! We would gladly accept donations of the following, in reasonably good condition. Please contact us via: marketgarden@tombreck.co.uk to make further arrangements.
​
Gardening/farming hand tools, particularly:
-
Rakes
-
Hand forks & trowels
-
Digging forks & spades
-

-
Sledge hammer
-
Buckets/trugs for weeding
-
Plant pots & seed trays
-
Bed roller

Plastic crates

General DIY or woodworking tools, particularly:
-
Drill & drill bits (would accept hand-powered)

We would also consider more bulky items, eg: timber, pallets, construction materials etc. subject to transport arrangements. Also, if you have any other items which you no longer need and think might be useful, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Many thanks,
Ian & Rachel
