Chip chip chip chip chipping, lay a little gravel for me.
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the StarGarAllot Community Garden in Cardiff.
- Sunday, 30th of May 2021
- Led by Michael
Part 2 started with the handover to the new team, Michael, Nic and of course Andrew who decided to stay on to get the task completed.
We were just laying the last of the weed suppressant membrane and using the metal pegs to hold it in place, then grabbing a wheelbarrow each we made our way over to the four tonnes of gravel and start moving what we needed to fill the path.
There was a bit of chatting whilst shoveling the chippings from the bags into the wheelbarrows, from bbqs to bike rides to jumping out of a plane.....the usual really.
Barrow after barrow after barrow, it continued until there was a fair bit of gravel in the path and then we all grabbed a rake and started spreading and leveling. It reminded us of the Japanese rock gardens, it was therapeutic. But before we relaxed too much, it was time to start moving some more gravel.
We finished off the leveling and stood back to enjoy our work, the transformation was incredible and we are sure that it will get it's use at the event coming up later on this week.
