Maidstone Glut-club - Crop Swaps

Tj_the_Dj

a couple of 99p Cucumbers i grew in the garden this year have so far cropped 15 cucumbers in the last 6 weeks....my courgettes are about to start glutt'ing, and with 8 huge pumpkins on the way, and a wild damson about to start dropping several kilo's of fruit...I find myself with a series of glut's

so...i listed my cucumbers on Freecycle, and suggested that someone with some other veg they had a glut of, might like to do a "glut exchange"

in less than 12 hours i had over 20 emails from people with a glut of tomatoes, grapes, courgettes, apples, eggs, plums, and many more!

So...i set up a facebook page to today for the maidstone area.

Please search for "maidstone glut club" on facebook...would post the link...but it seems I'm not allowed....THHHRRRRPPP!

please feel free to join

if you have a glut..even if it's only a single cucumber!...you'll find that someone with a glut of something else will hopefully love to swap with you.

It's only day 1, but I've already swapped some cuc's and a courgette for some tomatoes and a promise of some apples when they crop in September, with my first Glut-Club swapper.

Welcome to the Glut-Club.

If it takes off, I have friends and family across the country who might take up the gauntlet elsewhere too.
