Brian was in charge at Hogsmill today where 3 or of us gathered to help sort out a pile of rubbish so collection and disposal can be arranged. Henry, using a rather nifty tool, took apart the pallets creating a wood pile whilst Louise and Petra sorted out the rest of the rubbish- some into black bags, some into buckets and a wheelbarrow for later. Whilst Brian watered the small bushes we planted last week, we also took apart an old planter salvaging the decking it was made from for further use.

All in all, another successful mission at Hogsmill.

Four of us gathered to meet Julie at sunbathed Hogsmill Garden on Sunday morning, GoodGym regular haunt now and one of my personal favourites. It has changed to much especially in the last few weeks where the University students have installed some raised beds and a planting area with a roof. We had couple tasks to get on with; staring with clearing space along the metal fence so then we can plant some more small bushes that will eventually create lovely green "fence". Once all was planted, Melissa watered them and the we got on with transferring soil from a large pile into a large bag which will be used later. Turned out that we started at the wrong end of the pile, only for Julie to inform us that actually we need to move the soil away from the outside wooden loo to avoid further damage. We are not to be defeated - bog saved, soil in the bag after a good workout, we said goodbye until next week. PS: Thanks Claire for this report's pun :)
