Next Activities...
We will be there on saturday the 1st of october at 3pm It would be great if you want to come along and find out more.
Its general maintenance time, but most of the weeds are now gone (click the other button on the left).
Call me on 01280 817438 if you want to come along and help, or just turn up and chat.
Thats all green manure, growing really well.
Mandy has just added some plants; Oca, pineapple mint, and red campion. I put some more green manure down, as there are quite some bare patches. So, if you visit, please be careful where you tread, as any foot tread on seedlings simply kills them.
Three loads of mulch were delivered by Lee from the town council. He gets it from the municipal waste that is then composted.

Anyway, if there was a prize for dedication it has to go to Nadia. Here she is shovelling the mulch into a bag, and then distributes it onto the matting. It must have taken her ages, and Nadia managed to do most of it herself!

The good news is that the mulch is not all distributed, and we can rest that the weeds will be supressed for another year.

Things are growing like mad now, so if anyone can go down and spend a short time, there is lots of small things to do.

What is the Edible Woodland?


It is a piece of land, lent to us by the council, for anyone to grow things for the community.
The produce is free for anyone to pick...
