Mulch Ado About Nothing

7 Goodgymmers navigated prickly brambles, singing nettles, and a very humid night to help the Westbury Banks Nature Reserve wrestle its paths back from Nature's lockdown haircut.

Bramble, bramble, bramble, NETTLES, NETTLES

Seven smiley Goodgymmers came together to give the Reserve a much needed trim.

Luke from Friends Of WBNR tasked us with clearing the Reserve's central path as well as collecting a specific set of leaves to make some liquid fertiliser next week.

Sam, Natasha, and Louise got on with collecting the leaves while Kapil, Rosa, Neil and Euclides Sweeny Todded the brambles, trees, nettles, and general rainforesty chic hairdo of the central path.

After around 45 minutes we had enough material for two bucketfuls of liquid fertiliser and Sam kindly prepped it for for us by filling the bucket with water and mulching the leaves so we can get on with fertiliser alchemy next week.

Everyone else tidied up the work site and collected the fruit of our labour on the ever-growing compost heap.

We took some photos, said our goodbyes and headed out into the night very happy, if a little more itchy than we first arrived.

Back next week for more
