GoodGym met this week for one of our regular help-outs at Bath Organic Group next to Victoria Park.

It's always a popular mission, with a variety of interesting and different seasonal tasks to be undertaken.

This time, we assembled - with a couple of route-finding hiccups along the way - to be introduced to the delights of ... moving compost.

Specifically, they had one giant starter heap which had matured into the quality brown stuff, but which needed digging out, sifting to get rid of unwanted bits of plastic and un-composted matter, and transporting to a different heap at the other end of the plot.

With 6 of us on the job, we divvied up the tasks to two diggers moving the compost into a wheelbarrow, while another sifted out the unwanted bits, and a team of three working in rotation to wheel the full barrows up and back down for the next load.

We managed to get through about two thirds of the giant heap during the session, and everyone found it to be a mindful and rewarding task on a pleasantly dry, if a little grey, late summer evening. So mindful in fact, that we all totally forgot to take any group photos this time round!

But speaking of rewards - we finished up with the usual cup of home-made apple juice, and then as a special extra treat also got to take our fill from a table of left-over produce which included runner beans, tomatoes, blackberries and a few other organic delights (we managed some pics of those instead).
