Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Hounslow runner
The day was set to start well when we found out that the new Goodgym rising star, Augustin was set to join Breda and myself for this task! Initially fearing the rain that fell on us when enjoying our post-parkun coffee (from our sheltered location), the weather cleared out a bit and there was no rain for the full duration of the task. Then, we went looking for the location. Beyond Baron's Pond, locked in behind 2 gates we managed to find the secret garden, near a ground sponsored by London Marathon. It is a community garden that Cultivate London support. A very neat place, except for compost bins full of everything but compost and massive compost areas full of weed. Armed with shovels and pitch forks, we manage to clear out the compost bins and the excess in the weed compost area, but short of a full team we but put a slight dent in these overgrown weed piles! Thought of the day was how can people manage to throw massive amount of plastic on top of perfecticly good compost... Augustin managed to secure a trash bag that he valiantly brought home to avoid having that plastic in the middle of the compost... more to do clearly !
