Welcome to Charly for their first GoodGym Manchester outing!
This week's session moved to Thursday after a change in plan from Katie. We were out on the allotment this week with a list of tasks:
Peter was in his element with plants and brought along some squash to plant in a little pumpkin 🎃 patch.
We installed the fencing, weeded like demons, and laid as much black matting or membrane as possible using pegs to secure down. With a tonne bag of woodchip, we emptied the bag to leave a healthy layer covering a part of a communal area.
Finally, we watered what we could and cleared up before heading home.
Really productive task despite the heat 🥵 and Katie was really happy with the progress. We'll be back.
