Raining pallets & nails
Sunday 31st August
Written by Ben Foster
Wet session at Parakeet Pathway today!
Spent most of the session splitting pallets with a pallet separator (basically a big crobar) before removing the old rusty nails so they were ready to cover the planters on the site.
Lots of heavy work and managed to cover some of the front planter too.
Active group with sites in Platt Fields Park too. Had homemade spaghetti with sauce using homegrown herbs and tomatoes from their site. Scope for more sessions although they do have a lot of their own local volunteers.
