We were very lucky with the weather this week, and got lots done! On Tuesday, Miss Swallow collected sacks of well rotted horse manure from a local small-holding. 
After lunch on Wednesday, the club dug it in to the raised beds.
After lunch on Wednesday, the club dug it in to the raised beds. "Put your back into it guys!" This will help enrich and aerate the soil.
On Thursday, we then covered them with weed barrier which will also help to warm the soil before we plant things out later in Spring.

Mr MacFarlane also came out to lend a hand with the weeding.
On Thursday, the rural studies class spent the morning with Ian Paterson creating a willow structure.
It was forecasted to rain but even though it was cold, the sun shone all day! They did a fabulous job!

They did a fabulous job! Natural materials to create a natural shelter for us to sit. In time, the bench will thicken and continue to grow giving us a great spot to relax and view the garden from. 
It now needs filling with topsoil to keep the wicker moist, and we shall put planks on top to sit on - hopefully within the next week or so.
We even had time on Thursday to rake the last of the winter debris (twigs and leaves) for the leaf-mold pile. It made the garden feel a lot tidier.
