Steph and i spent a short while this evening tackling the residential planter in Lordshill. unfortunately it has sprung up considerably since we last tackled it - and is full of bindweed and brambles. We successfully managed to clear a small section of the growth and will be back soon.

A good workout session for us as we were clearing grass and weeds so we could dig the area. Slight hitch in proceedings as Stephanie managed to snap the fork handle! Not a problem as Ziggy soon advised it had woodworm damage already. We don't usually blame the tools! Lauren and Stephanie filled four shopping trolleys worth of grass and cuttings. April did great work helping to clear up our mess with the help of Alan from Friends of Bitterne Station. Refreshments were provided as they are a very hospitable group. We will be back to help out in the future as they are a wonderful place creating a welcoming community space for all.
