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:)
