This week’s volunteers, seen here using the last of our woodchip delivery to fill the muddiest section of the main path. The rest of the lovely load of chip went on the paths between the vegetable beds, seen behind. Our woodchip is donated by Manchester Treestation – the co-op in West Gorton do a lot of tree work for Stockport Council and help out with community projects, as well as selling firewood and timber.
We also pruned most of the apple trees – Matilda is lopping some large branches off one of our four cider apple trees. In winter, we remove dead, damaged and crowded branches to let light in. The plums and damsons will be blossoming this week! And apples soon after.
