Growing-space demand

Review date: 26 July 2026. The figures show a large supply gap, not proof that every enquiry remains active or that every offered space is suitable. Dublin, Kildare and Galway were among the most represented grower locations. Meath, Kilkenny and Longford host enquiries are the first verification priorities.

Method

• Source: messages generated by Homegrown forms in the connected Kali Juna Gmail account from the initial launch period to the review date.
• Grower enquiries were deduplicated primarily by email address; obvious form duplicates and media or stakeholder messages were excluded.
• Space offers are counted separately. Receipt is not host verification.
• County descriptions are normalised only for aggregate reporting. Exact areas, names, emails, phone numbers and free text are not published.
• Figures are point-in-time operational evidence, not a statistically representative survey of Irish demand.

Council-information method

County and allotment pages compile public council pages, direct public-body information and submitted wait-time reports. The relevant council remains the authoritative source. A page should state its own review date; where it does not, treat its status as awaiting re-review and verify before relying on it.

Public changelog

• 26 July 2026: first deduplicated demand/supply review; unsupported partnership, insurance, vetting and immediate-matching claims removed; privacy and the direct seasonal-licence listings model documented.
• Next review: after historical enquiries have been asked to confirm continued interest and the first host-verification batch is complete.
