What a great night!

On a beautiful sunny, spring day, with everyone in great spirits, we all ran to Beckhill Community Garden (without getting lost) & met Lynn for the first time this year.

It was woodchip Wednesday, so half the group got to work moving piles of woodchip...Christian found a method that worked by tossing it over his shoulder! The other half weeded around the beds.

The garden is about to show at a flower show in Harrogate....this little garden has completely transformed under Lynn's leadership...Well done!!

Following our failed star gazing trip last weekend where there was nothing but cloudy skies, tonight, of course there was a clear sky & fabulous view of the stars! Orions Belt was in clear view...typical :)

We headed to Bedford Fields for path laying & wood chipping. It was great to start with a bit of light...spring is on its way, thank goodness.

Well done to Jason on his 75th good deed, Adam completed his 45th & Lydia her 35th! You're all amazing.

It was great to meet Hope tonight, welcome to GoodGym.

Thanks to everyone for coming out & doing so much in so little time.

Tonight, we mainly stood in amazement at Christian's speedy digging skills!

We were digging trenches at Bedford Fields , filling them with logs and garden waste to create mounds. This is a permaculture technique that uses decaying wood as a base to create nutrient-rich, moisture-retaining garden beds. The buried wood acts like a sponge, absorbing water during wet periods and releasing it during dry spells. As the wood breaks down over several years, it provides a consistent, slow-release nutrient source.

It was a freezing night but we managed to keep warm (ish) with our hard work.

Thanks for coming out in the cold everyone:)

Tonight, we had a new task helping Headingley Neighbourhood Watch clear graffiti from the bins, telephone & electrical boxes & shop shutters.

We met Nilesh who organises it all and he provided paint, graffiti removal spray, scrapers and sponges, so we quickly got to work.

Christian and Sreenu scraped flyers off the bins, I helped Nilesh remove graffiti from shop shutters and the rest painted over the graffiti.

It was a cold night out, but we made a massive impact in an hour. What a great team we have in Leeds! Thanks all for another great night.
