Trident Food Growing; Mayfield Centre

We made a real transformation today. It is not a big space, but by the end of the day we had constructed three raised beds, installed a half-barrel planter and made good progress with the bench. 

First the fabric mulch had to be removed in order to level the compacted soil. Once the space for the beds was prepared, they were laid and levelled, which took a little bit of patience. Once the beds were lined with weed suppressant fabric they were filled with 'veggi-soil'. We are returning next week to plant seedlings with the children in the nurserey. One bed has been dedicated to robust herbs and we made a start by planting some mint. 

The photos from today are in the Parkside Gallery for the time being.
