Anyways! Six of us head to Arkwright Meadows Community Gardens again for a slightly cooler evening of gardening.

This time we were tasked with clearing a big patch of nettles as well as clearing bindweed from a couple of the beds. As the quote from Nigel in the title suggests, this was a bit trickier than our normal "smash and dash" approach to weeding. Katie from the gardens explained to us that the bindweed roots go incredibly deep and incredibly far, but you need to get the whole thing to stop it coming back. There was a lot of digging around and delicately pulling the whole thing out to keep us busy for an hour.

Shoutout to Tom for hitting 99 good deeds!!!
