How much wood would a wood chip chip, if a wood chip could chip wood?
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Grow for life in Bath.

Four Goodgymmers and an honorary four-legged Goodgymmer headed to Grow for Life's walled garden in Newton St Loe, in response to a shout for help to prepare for their open day. On arrival, Jo and Jer were tasked with moving an ENORMOUS pile of woodchip to make way for some new compost bays. Meanwhile, Ruth, Jane and Ted were dispatched round the village to deliver open day invitations to all the local houses. Once back at the garden, Jer took charge of building the compost bays out of Grow-for-Life favourite, pallets - ably assisted by Ruth, who proved skilled at finding the elusive end of the wire used to hold the structure together. Jo demonstrated their new-found dry stone walling skills, building a retaining wall for the steep slope at the bottom of the site and Jane got her weight training in by shifting 240kg of bentonite clay out of Wayne's trailer.
Overall, a satisfying and sunny mission. Grow for Life's open day is next week, on 17th and 18th May - do feel free to stop by, the garden is looking lovely. We'll be back with them on 29th June.
