Inspired by shopping for a water butt, tonight's dilemma of the day was "What's your favourite vessel for drinking liquid?" It turns out everyone has a very specific mug, broken bottle or tankard, unless you're James for whom it's much more important that the liquid itself delivers after a tough week of work 🍷 Fair enough!
We split into two cohorts to get to our task - Cat led a longer run with Stephen as trusty backmarker, whilst Charlie and I took a stroll!
Bark in the Dark...
Our task was at Cator Park, filling up barrows and buckets with woodchip at one end and ferrying it over to the new Tiny Forest at the other end. Maybe we should actually install a boat to carry it along the stream?
In what was apparently the final mulch run of the year, we got a solid 10+ barrows-full from the pile to the tiny trees.
The wee saplings will be much better protected from competing weeds now that it's knee deep in woodchip!
Ace work team, and don't forget to bring head torches next week 💡
