Rachel and Sheila continued our quest to get the community allotment ready for winter. It was great to be able to meet Gary in person, who so far has been giving us jobs to do by Email. Our first task was to line and fill two new raised beds with mulch and, you've guessed it Diya, with some beautiful horse manure. These were then covered up, ready for some topsoil once this is available. In the remaining time, Rachel weeded between the slabs in the patio, whilst Sheila cut back one of the hedges and weeded around the raspberries. There will be more allotment fun next week, to finish our task list
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.
