Work getting the Selsley land cleared and ready to use as a Community Growing Space and Training ground is still happening each Monday if anyone would like to join us. It’s amazing what can be done in a couple of hours a week – we’ve started to lay a path (re-cycled chippings) and put an edge along the side, as well as digging the soil over ready to put some raised beds in on the flat vegetable side. On the other side of the plot it’s quite steeply sloped so we’ve decided to put fruit shrubs there – we’ve now planted our first donated gooseberry bush! Also on the way are some raspberries and tayberries – oh and jerusalem artichokes for the veg bit. The first pallets have arrived to make our compost bins which should be in place and functioning next week.
OK they’re not the most exciting of pictures but you get the idea! Anyone interested in helping us please call 01453 7000 11 or e-mail us at info@downtoearth.coop
