Luton GoodGymers headed out to try and quench the thirst of some recently planted saplings. However being a long way from a water source meant lots of team work to draw up water from the local river (not helped by BOTH buckets having sprung a leak) and some heavy work to get enough water over to the planted area, A task much improved by Duncan’s recent find of a rolling water barrel! The poor saplings were being strangled by long grass and weeds so then it was time to dig in and give them some breathing space. Once each of had a healthy space it was time to treat them to the river water before they were mulched. Over half the saplings were cared for before the bank to the river became too slippery to safely continue drawing up water. Thinking caps are on for how to manage this for future tasks as these saplings will need a lot more water over the summer to get established.
