Saturday was a beautiful day for a working bee to clean up the school gardens. Not too hot, not too cold - and definitely no rain.
Tim arranged for a load of mulch to be delivered during the week, and after weeding one of the garden beds, the main task was lugging mulch up the hill for spreading over the bed.
No use for wheelbarrows around here - the steps and railings get in the way. It all had to be done the old fashioned way.
One clean, weed-free garden bed.
Tim also arranged for a skip to be delivered so that we wouldn't have our usual problems with carting away weeds and rubbish. Most people expressed a preference for being out on a boat on the water instead of filling this skip with weeds.
After the first garden bed was done, we tackled the embankment on the western boundary again. We managed to do about 1/3 of it last time. We probably did another 1/3 this time.
Everything had to be carted away by hand - and there were plenty of weeds to cart away.
By the end of the afternoon, the skip was full - another satisfying working bee.
