Green-fingered fun at MVF!

Wednesday 9th September

Written by Shannen Bagaria

We had a quick run on the ridge to MVF, what a gorgeous September evening too! Our tasks included the infamous compost turning, filled with the best convos and strategic layering of courgette leaves, compost and hay; some might say it was lasagne-esque. We also trimmed more courgette leaves and cleared tomato plants ready for more spring onions to be planted.

Our Laura has done 200 tasks (yay, well done Laura!) what an achievement! Jason gifted her with a bright, flower garland.

Our Sarah starts filming her film on Sunday! We can’t wait for it to come out on Netflix. Popcorn at the ready! Until next week :)

Caring for Cucumbers

Wednesday 29th July

Written by Laura

Another lovely evening at Meanwood Farm.

Jason, Helen & Erica took their role of caring for cucumbers very seriously, removing mites that were invading them...Helen is so committed, she wants to go & check on them!

Chloe, Rachael, Katie, Shannen & I headed to the Orchard to remove foliage from below the trees with blunt sheers & the rest of the group weeded. There's always lots of weeds at this time of year!

Welcome to Anisah on her first GoodGym task, we hope to see you again soon.

Thanks for another great task all, it's always a pleasure.

A Hot Messi

Wednesday 15th July

Written by Laura

Tonight at GoodGym there was hope in the air about the world cup semi-final....

Before the disappointment of the England game though, we had a great session at Meanwood Valley Farm where we weeded four different areas. Andy, the Head Grower always says what an impact we make in such a short time. These summer sessions have such a great vibe & everyone was on top form.

Welcome to Eliza & Hal tonight, we hope to see you again soon.

Next week, we'll grab those summer drinks after the session. The pubs were far too busy for it tonight.

Talk Dirt To Me

Wednesday 1st July

Written by Laura

Two questions were posed tonight:

  • Is that a cow or a sheep?

  • Are leaks just big spring onions?

The answers to those questions are as follows: Sheep & No, but they re in the same family!

Tonight, we were at Meanwood Farm for wheel hoeing, planting leaks and weeding. We love it down there and always get a good variety of tasks. Surprisingly though, we weren't asked to turn compost for the first time....Helen's disappointment was palpable.

Another great evening, thanks all.

Feeling Vine

Wednesday 20th May

Written by Laura

Tonight we had a lovely big group who all headed to Meanwood Valley Farm to help the team with a variety of jobs. The main job was to prepare a large area ready for tomato plants. Apparently they need soft ground, up to 50cm deep in order to thrive which was good to know, as I prepare to plant my own in the coming days. We used a large variety of tools including a wheel hoe which was very satisfying to use! This area is now ready for the plants to go in.

Our resident compost turners did their work as usual, Rachel & Helen always volunteer for this smelly job & Shannen joined them tonight, thanks ladies :)

As we always do, we got sent away with a variety of organic veggies including beetroot, radishes & rhubarb. Delicious!

Welcome to newcomers Billy & Katie, we hope to see you again soon.

Great work team!

Lambs, Lettuces, and Landworkers

Wednesday 15th April

Written by Helen Noyes

Ten of us headed to Meanwood Farm, braving the biblical storm and arriving drenched to the skin. Looking at the day old lambs revived us somewhat and Jen quickly put us to work on various tasks. We spent an hour potting up chilli seedlings, barrowing compost to the polytunnels, and digging it into neat rows ready for planting. The weather turned more spring-like and the lighter evening allowed us to see how the compost bins we have been turning all winter have produced excellent wormy compost. Jen rewarded us with lettuce and we ran back to HEART with our arms full of our bounty. True spirit of landworkers!
