The raspberry border had finally managed to win over it's patch back from the weeds, Good Gymers got to work on the square patch where the weeds were back. The defending raspberries were heavily outnumbered, almost subdue under antagonist's canopy. For now the patch was defended. Expect sprout back.

Tis the season to meander through woods. A gloriously clear day to be out at the top of Nover Hill. We scythe through from the steps to a side lane. The sheep path is now open to go through.

On top of the usual maintenance tasks at the berry maze, we managed to dig out an old fence post that had snapped at the base, and postcrete a new post in. everyone chipped in as we took turns with a challenging dig. Great work everybody! thank you and see you again for the next session

Raking news just coming in….

Three goodgymers met this morning to transform a patch of ground into a haven for wildflowers and diversity. Let’s go over to our roving reporter Richard for more.

Richard: Thanks Gary. It’s a warm one.

Thanks Richard. Informative as always. After the patch was cleared using scythes and rakes it was then scarified 👻. Finally the seeds were spread and watered. Hopefully in the next year the area will transform into a sea of colour and life.

Until next time…

The raspberries haven't had this much real estate to breath and drink in a long time. But our dedicated team of weed rippers sorted that out in no time! Barny and Jackie were very grateful that this monstrous task was done so well.

The work was partly sponsored by warm drinks and biscuits that the Berry Maze have been providing recently too, which we're very grateful of too!

Thanks for coming everyone, see you again next month!
