I am part of a group setting up a new community garden in St. Francis Park, East Dulwich. We are looking for any dry or rotten tree stumps, logs and branches you might have lying around in your garden. Also will take grass cuttings and leaves for the community composting bays we are building in the next few weeks (update on this to follow).


If you have any and are able to drop off, send me a message and I can let you know the location in the park to leave the logs or if not we can collect for free in Camberwell, East Dulwich, Herne Hill and Peckham areas - although any donations for the project will be welcome too!


The logs will be used to create hugelkulturs (growing method where rotting wood is buried under a mound of soil and over time releses nutrients, moisture and heat to create self-sustaining growing system) and habitat for stag beetles and other creatures.


Please get in touch if you have any old wood you want rid of! And if you'd like to hear more about or be involved in the project. thank you!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
