Report written by Rob Riley (he/him)
This week we went back to Kirkstall Valley Farm.
We had 3 seperate areas to tend to, so split into pairs
Katie and Nik got to work planting broccoli, whilst Helen and Shannen began by clearing weeds around the broccoli, and Tom and Rob cleared up some weeds further along the plot, around the kale.
We worked away, with the speed of 100 scouts (not just 7!) - Goodgym knows how to get the job done! We admired our work, before promptly starting to cover it again.
Tom and I got talking about Endure24, and about how good it would be to enter a team from GG Leeds... anyone interested? https://www.endure24.co.uk/events/leeds/entry/
Well done everyone - 6km run and lots of work done! We headed to The Golden Beam for a catch-up before parting ways.
Aiming to bring to life Abbey Mills, St Anne's Mills, a farm, and 200 acres of parkland in inner Leeds

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money
