Hackney city farm needed some help preparing top soil from.... A big pile of pig poop! We were not to be deterred by this and quickly got stuck in sifting out the big stones which currently make the soil unusable and quickly developed a system. As the darkness of the evening set in we bagged up 7 sacks of premium hand sifted top soil for the farm.

This evening, a gaggle of GoodGymmers gathered to help out at Hackney City farm.

Our activities largely centred on building a rather large green pile out of tree offcuts lying around the farm. Some parts required a little extra chopping/sawing to get it to a sensible size. Thankfully for the health-and-safety-concious among us, there were no power tools involved and no obvious injuries by the time we'd finished 👍🏻🥳 The green pile will be sorted by another volunteer group tomorrow.

A few of us made it to Hackney City Farm on Tuesday night to help out with some gardening.

We got the gloves on and did different jobs, like some serious weeding, with Liz being an absolute hero with pulling out those nettles. I have zero gardening terms in my vocabulary but other things were achieved to tidy up the garden.

Well done all!
