Report written by Sam Ollason
8 GoodGym runners made their way to the community allotment ran by Bath Organic Group in Victoria Park, Bath. We have been to help them in a variety of ways before and we were keen to come back and help them out again.
Half of us spent the evening clearing back an overgrown path around their pond. Over the lockdown period the path has become a bit inaccessible and we cleared away the weeds and dead plants that were obstructing it. We made a huge difference here - the path is now clear and its wide enough for walking or for a wheelchair to travel down.
The other half of us spent the evening clearing away areas under some apple trees of dead brambles and debris. As well as making the place tidier it will also make it easier and safer to collect the apples later in the year.
All of the vegetation we cleared or raked up was put onto their compost pile to be used within the garden again at some stage.
We are going to be returning to Bath Organic Group in a few weeks time, so keep up to date with the listings online and get involved!
Bath Organic Group, or BOG, was set up in 1986 to promote sustainable, local food production and organic gardening in and around Bath.
