Five of us joined Alysia and two of her colleagues for a day of various jobs. We were working in the tree nursery, which is in the field opposite the former Wizard Inn. It is a volunteer run project set up by the Alderley rangers. They have put in some raised beds and are starting to grow several species of trees and are now at the stage of expanding. This is where we came in.
They have been collecting shredded foliage from local landscapers and our initial job was to spread out cardboard and cover this with the shredding. Tick job done.
That was simple, next was to remove a fence post and put in two substantial posts to hang two single gates, not so simple. The ground was quite compact and took some effort to make the holes big enough for the posts. All this was made even more difficult as everything we were using was pre-loved. Holes had to be measured then measured again then drilled. No problem for MNTV.
As we finished this job Alysia said we had done what was required and it was possibly a bit late to start something else so we packed up for the day, just as the rain started. Perfect timing!
Thanks to Alysia and her colleagues for a good workday and my colleagues for their hard work good company and laughter.
