Following our failed star gazing trip last weekend where there was nothing but cloudy skies, tonight, of course there was a clear sky & fabulous view of the stars! Orions Belt was in clear view...typical :)
We headed to Bedford Fields for path laying & wood chipping. It was great to start with a bit of light...spring is on its way, thank goodness.
Well done to Jason on his 75th good deed, Adam completed his 45th & Lydia her 35th! You're all amazing.
It was great to meet Hope tonight, welcome to GoodGym.
Thanks to everyone for coming out & doing so much in so little time.

We will get the street ready for spring.

Tonight, we mainly stood in amazement at Christian's speedy digging skills!
We were digging trenches at Bedford Fields , filling them with logs and garden waste to create mounds. This is a permaculture technique that uses decaying wood as a base to create nutrient-rich, moisture-retaining garden beds. The buried wood acts like a sponge, absorbing water during wet periods and releasing it during dry spells. As the wood breaks down over several years, it provides a consistent, slow-release nutrient source.
It was a freezing night but we managed to keep warm (ish) with our hard work.
Thanks for coming out in the cold everyone:)

It was great to see so many of you come out on a wet Wednesday evening! We had the muddiest run of winter so far as we made our way to Meanwood Valley Farm. We were split into 3 groups, one group to do compost turning (it always surprises me how up for this job everyone is), another group were moving pallets & the third group were cleaning the walls & windows in the greenhouse.
The phrase 'boys and their toys' came to mind when Adam got hold of the pressure washer! He was enjoying it so much we were worried he might flood the place :)
We always love visiting the animals at the farm & we found out the donkey's names...Reggie, Benny & Alfie (if I remember correctly)?! A kidnap plot is being hatched...
Well done to Rachel, tonight was her 90th good deed!
Another great night, thanks everyone!

Well done guys!! Looking forward to joining you all tomorrow! Woohoo! Can we go see the donkeys? I have a question for them.

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money

Tonight, we had a new task helping Headingley Neighbourhood Watch clear graffiti from the bins, telephone & electrical boxes & shop shutters.
We met Nilesh who organises it all and he provided paint, graffiti removal spray, scrapers and sponges, so we quickly got to work.
Christian and Sreenu scraped flyers off the bins, I helped Nilesh remove graffiti from shop shutters and the rest painted over the graffiti.
It was a cold night out, but we made a massive impact in an hour. What a great team we have in Leeds! Thanks all for another great night.
