A team of three GoodGym heroes - Emily, Saber, Marie-Noëlle - met at the community garden this morning, joining forces with Susan and her loyal volunteers. Our mission: clearing and preparing an ancient compost bin space into a new planter for spring. An additional new bed was cleared, sowed with future flowery glory, and made a nofly zone for the resident chickens who seemed to be plotting a takeover. Elsewhere, compost chopping and turning and the composter zone tidied, followed by a watery marathon! pond restocking with water from the water rollers, then refilling the rollers with river water.
And finally gutter surgery, clearing out blockages to ensure the water tanks can capture precious rainwater
