No need for a gym session today. Mammoth garden clearance was workout enough!

Today I helped out at local community garden Common Ground with their annual autumn garden clearance. They had 2 skips on site ready to be filled.

We spent a good couple of hours cutting back overgrown plants and clearing unused waste from the basement storage, punctuated by coffee and cake, provided by a next door neighbour. My main jobs were buddleia pruner, ferryer of cut branches to skip and chief "jump on skip contents to squash down and make space for more"-er

We're a community garden where anyone can pick the fresh fruit and vegetables they need. We're expanding into the nearby overgrown areas to increase the variety and amount of food we produce. Come help us beat back the perennial weeds and create a bright new space.
