Big day today. This week we received 1000 kg of soil for the raised beds and today we filled the larger one. Unfortunately only two members of the club came along. We were however lucky to find some enthusiastic volunteers. All the children helping moved at least their weight in soil today. We began by putting down several layers of cardboard and newspapers at the bottom of the raised beds as a water store. Then came the job of filling the bed with about 800 kg of soil and mixing in some compost. Finally we sowed some broccoli, carrot, beetroot, leeks, and planted some onions.
