Having had a cursory glance at the contents of this site I am not much
wiser as to the merits of you using quarry fines, but I include it just
in case you find it helpful.

You haven't given the size of your allotment so that cost can be
calculated or said what produce has been successfully grown on it in its
present state or mentioned drainage possibilities.

I think my plot is around 15m by 40m but that is pretty much a guess.
Some things have grown fine, at one end. The other end is a little
lower and i currently have some fairly drowned looking chard there. I
attempted sweetcorn next to this last summer and it failed to produce
any cobs probably because of the very wet and cold conditions.
