November update
catherine November 5th, 2009
Finally things are cracking along. Grateful thanks are due to Bridget, Catherine, Jackie, Laura, Monica, Pat, Philippa, and Ros, who all helped to put in place the new raised beds, fill them, and excavate the rubble in the second border filling the hole with soil. Together we shifted 11 builder’s bulk bags of soil and compost and about 8 cubic metres of rubble. Four more raised beds will now be ordered, so that each year group can have its own. There was a problem with the original potential supplier of the beds, so we had a rethink and ordered ones from Forth Resource Management which are made from pressure treated new railway sleepers. They look really brilliant and sturdy, and are ready for planting in the spring.
Thanks also to Xanthe Bird who helped me put roofing felt on the shed while we balanced on two tables, breaking all health, safety and insurance requirements…. All it needs now are replacement windows to make it secure.
Our mushroom seats and carved animals, chosen by last year’s P1 have come and look great. They will need to be concreted in, so that they don’t get stolen or heaved over the wall. And our B&Q donation of tools and garden materials has also arrived.
