We did our third task helping Yumi to get the walled garden ready for Danesgate school to use. It was great to welcome two new runners Ellie and Jonathan. James, Andy and Maddy cut back the brambles and the rest of us were tasked with digging over and levelling one of the beds we'd got some of the roots out of 2 weeks before. We got shown by one of the task owners how to "double dig" the bed, digging foot deep trenches and mounding up the earth to the side, removing the roots right down so they wouldn't come back. It was definitely one of the most thorough Goodgym weeding attempts we've done! We now need arrange to go back and do the rows in between. The title was a quote from one of the task owners who asked us to stand by our mounds so she could photograph us.
