Another successful Saturday at Greenhill Allotments, as two GoodGymers set to work clearing a plot of weeds and other random things like glass jars and bits of garden tools. The mattock was put to good use on the hard ground. One thing Greenhill Allotments has is a good variety of tools. Today's other tool of the day was a nameless one has lots of pointy bits that you stick in the ground and twist, wrapping the weeds around the end.

Check out the before and after photographs. It'll probably take one more visit to clear the rest of the plot, hopefully after it has rained a bit to soften the ground.

We are bringing back into order a small allotment site which has become ovegrown

A small local allotment for the cultivation of veg, fruit and flowers and to provide outdoor space especially for those with none at home. It is a secured site so that access would only be by contacting one of the organisers.
