Sheila and Angela joined 3 of the other volunteers at the community allotment tonight, and it was all about getting the beds ready for winter. Our first task was to shovel the last of the old manure and topsoil from the storage bay into a wheelbarrow. Not made easy as the front of the bay could not be removed, but we managed to scrape it out from underneath. This was used to top up one of the beds, into which we transplanted the leeks. Angela then heroically transferred the new horse manure into the empty bay. There was a bit of time for Angela to do some extra weeding before packing up our spades and trowels


This task supported

The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
