We spent a good afternoon under a grey sky (but no rain!) with a focus on manure, shifting soil, planting broad beans, putting up some netting, cutting up recently felled branches and clearing and removing rubbish and generally tidying the plot.
As well as Nick, Eleanor, Eddy, Glenda and Angie, we welcomed Kiri, a Masters student at the Uni.
We are talking about how to make a really good plan of the plot so we can start to see how a rotation system might work.
The most satisfying aspect was that we had bought, for £50 a trailor-load of manure which created a rather smaller pile than we had hoped, but four of us spent an hour at Clough Fields and were able to bag up and bring back a rather larger amount of rich crumbly stuff!
