it's been quite a destructive week for GoodGym at Bath. To follow up Tuesday's task of ripping up an incorrectly laid path, we arrived at the Organic Garden to be given the task of ripping up some hedges.

These rather pretty hedges have unfortunately been overrun by box blight, a destructive moth invasion for which Tim has decided the best cure is to get rid of the hedges altogether.

We got stuck in with loppers, and made fast, and thoroughly destructive progress.

A baby robin came to investigate at one point, or possibly offer to eat the caterpillars we were getting rid of.

Jer finished up the mission with some classic mattock action to try to get some roots out. Who doesn’t enjoy some GoodGym mattocking!?
