Attingham, Sunday 3rd March
Compost seems to be becoming a theme with WNTCV – Sunnycroft last week and Attingham this week. And why not!
Today, 6 members of WNTCV were working in the walled garden with NT gardener, Kate.
The task: moving a HUGE pile of leaves into pre-prepared areas for composting. After the first hour of work it seemed that the task could not be completed in one day. But WNTCV will not be defeated!
A system of digging, barrowing, tipping and stomping was set in place and the ‘WNTCV machine’ soon got the job done.
There was NT cake in the bothy after a hard days work, much appreciated by the group members. I also hear that there was homemade fudge, courtesy of Matt (ed’s note: please make some more when I am out on a workday!).
