Saturday 1st February
Report written by StephDucat
After the pizza party at Horseden, 4 goodgymers walked to the new urban garden that was nearby. All mudded up, they walked through massive water puddles and mud again to reach the garden which we have attended several times. Today was a big day as it was covering of the polytunnel : would we see the end of the tunnel? Upon arrival, we were surprised by the number of CIC volunteers who already erected the plastic over the metal frame, but there was still loads of work or fun. It was slip and slide in the beginning as soil was very muddy as loads of clay in this area and that doesn't mix up with plastic sheets like we discovered when you have running shoes full of mud : check outSteph Ducat trainers!! Paul can confirm as he had a close look at the soil...he went down, but was not hurt. The 4 goodgymers helped Joseph and the CIC crew pull on the massive plastic sheet and attach it down to wooden fixings with screws. It was slip and slide the session and the trainers were getting heavier and heavier with the clay that was collecting all sorts like the woodchip. Sevan , Mohamed and Paul started moving timber from the shed to the polytunnel. Then it was time for a break with hot drinks and lovely food.
We're planning to erect a poly-tunnel and growing beds to produce fresh vegetables for local charities.
