Tonight’s task was to help Raggy Rd allotments with a gardening based task.
We met at Salt hill park with 6 people signed up. Two met us directly at the task location and four of us ran down the 1km route to Ragstone Rd
On arrival Mona was ready in waiting to give us the low down of the task.
There were planters that needed soiling and a path that needed leveling.
Forkin’ Hell
As we gathered around the compost heap that needed clearing out and the good soil moved to the planters, Keith spotted something moving as he ploughed his fork into the heap! At first we thought it was a snake! But then as another one appeared we realized they were slow worms.
That was enough for Sandy and I to quickly take on the leveling task whilst Keith, Jen and Zoe wheely enjoyed the compost moving planter filling task.
Hard Kaur’s
Abdul soon joined us and was helping the hard Kaur’s Sandy and me with removing layers of carpet and mesh and a few weeds from the path. Our task was to clear the path as best we could so that the plot user who has mobility issues could safely tend to their plot. We actually managed to do it much to our own surprise!
Within 45 minutes we had done as much as we possibly could, so we finished off with a group photos and yummy apple pies. Keith hit the jackpot with fresh beetroot! Just cant beet this task location
Well done to everyone for their efforts.
Community allotment where over 18s can join our membership and have a small patch to grow whatever they want. We have group get togethers and visit garden exhibits like Kew Gardens. This is an opportunity to meet people who have same interests. Check our Facebook page 'Raggy Road Allotments Group'.
