Report written by Newcastle runner
Two GoodGymers attended Walker Kitchen Allotment on an extremely cold Saturday morning, wondering just how much of the proposed weeding and planting could take place given the frozen ground. They need not have worried, as super-enthusiastic gardener Dom from North East Wilds met them there with a cunning plan to attack the compost heap with garden forks and spades, releasing lots of non-frozen soil (and a fair number of random potatoes too). Some of the soil was sifted and lots of it placed in dozens of plants pots, along with some willow that was also cut down to size on the morning. It will be interesting to see how it grows and how the allotment looks when the temperatures aren’t sub-zero.
