Today's task at the Community Allotment was mainly about making beds - raised beds! Some new frames for the beds had been laid out ready for us. Old compost bags were used to line the beds and bags of horse manure emptied in on top. Weed-supressing membrane was put on top of the new beds as well as two other empty beds, and topped off with some spare pieces of wood to keep it all in place. We rounded off the session by giving the gladioli bed a hoe until bad light stopped play


This task supported

The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
