Thanks to James for the title pun and some of the action shots.

All I can say is kudos to the 6 Goodgymmers today who braved the mid-afternoon sun on the hottest day of the year to dig, weed and chop at Common Ground.

We made good progress on digging out the compost from the compost bays (finding lots of non-compostable content along the way) for them to eventually be rebuilt and the compost to be put to good use on the garden. We used teamwork to haul very heavy stone blocks to edge another area. We chopped back brambles and we weeded beds. We were then treated to ice pops, which were very gratefully received! We hope to be back very soon to finish the work on the compost bays and have lined up as a potential for a group run 😁


This task supported

We're a community garden where anyone can pick the fresh fruit and vegetables they need. We're expanding into the nearby overgrown areas to increase the variety and amount of food we produce. Come help us beat back the perennial weeds and create a bright new space.
