Hmm...I'm a bit suprised some of your prices...couldn't you get any discount for bulk order from your supplier?
All our fertilizer prices are almost half less and we put 20% on buying in ...?

But yes...looks good all round supply ;D

You may want to add some netting bean/pea netting, debris netting & enviromesh are all commonplace on allotments. You can buy large rolls then sell by the meter.
Wondermesh is significantly cheaper than enviromesh but just as good.

We also sell plant pots, plants and greenhouse clips.
The prices are set to undercut B&Q and garden centres while making a healthy profit for the society.
It is easier to make money this way, than dare suggest an increase in annual fees!

The problem with netting is storage but we are working on it.
