Report written by Richmond runner
A warm and sunny morning greeted us for today’s task at the Vine Road Community Growing Project in Barnes. We met at the polytunnels and shifted a bit of garden furniture before dividing to conquer separate jobs involving compost and mulch. Classic.
The mulchers set about coating the raised beds in some rich organic material to nourish the soil and remaining crops over winter. Meanwhile, the others were busy shovelling and sieving matter from the compost heap to remove larger bits of wood, roots, worms, and more than a few coffee pods, to leave a most pleasing fine and light compost. Lovely.
Most of the group also stopped a little longer to enjoy well-earned coffees and baked treats in the sun from the community café.
Welcome to all those who joined us for the first time, whether from other areas or new to GoodGym. We hope to see you and the friendly bunch at Vine Road again soon.
We are based at Vine Road Recreation Ground were we lead a Community Growing Project. We grow food using organic and regenerative processes, we engage volunteers from local organisations and groups as well as individuals and of all ages and abilities. Every week we harvest food and donate boxes to our local food bank, benefitting 4-5 families.
