More levelling is needed after the holidays before we fix it down and put the plastic sheets back in.
Lewis and Catriona potted on bedding plants on Wednesday.
On Thursday, we all got cracking to fill the "lowered bed" ready to plant our fruit bushes (which we did on Friday - just in time before the holidays! See pictures below).
Grigor, Annie, Charlotte and Catriona continued potting on the bedding plants.
Connorhan and Lexi dig up soil that has been standing since the path was built (it is the upturned turf the path builders removed that has now rotted down well).
Lewis collects well rotted leaf mold (the very first bags we collected before the garden was even started, so it's now over two years old!)

We also used some of our own compost produced from canteen waste, shredded paper and cardboard. We put all these into the lowered bed and started to mix it.
Miss Swallow has also been planting out willow sticks that we hope will grow into trees for coppicing in future years.
