Pulling the rug from under the peat*

Three sprightly GG Yorkies met at Holgate allotments to continue to clear brambles, readying the patch for creating a bee habitat next to the community orchard.

While Tay and Leanne cleared a pile of old brambles onto the compost heap, James got digging to create his own pile of roots.

Soon all three were on digging duty, unearthing breeze blocks, glass and polystyrene from the foundation of an old greenhouse.

We finished up the hour by finding and heaving up a few bits of old carpet and weed guard from beneath the soil.

The next chance to join in this lovely Sunday morning task is on 21st, so keep an eye out for the listing.

*not technically peat, but we've never been ones to let facts get in the way of a good pun.
