Back to our roots (again)!
6 GoodGymers made their way to help the Kings Path WIldflower meadow in York.

We arrived at the task on a thankfully warm and sunny evening to find that only a small area of ground had been rotavated as the machine was not up to the task and had broken down/ran out of power after a few hours earlier in the day. Hopefully a bigger machine can be sought for next time. However, it hadn't left any huge clods of earth behind for us to break up (as originally planned) so we switched to digging up the docks - which had some very impressive roots! Laura won the prize for the largest root although there were some close contenders. We concentrated on the larger patches and ones that were setting seed. After an hour we heaped all our weeds and roots under the nearby trees and were pleased that we had helped to improve the ground a little bit more.
