comFREEy
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the YUMI and YUMI in York.

After a torrential afternoon we were lucky to have a drier spell for our task. YUMI volunteers were waiting for us and Jane quickly took the lead in explaining what needed doing, the main subject being removal of the invasive comfrey. This plant is actually believed to be the organic gardener’s best friend. Thanks to its high content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium it can be turned into a brilliant fertilizer. YUMI allotment however wasn’t a destination for it to settle at and the team went on a pull out and dispose mission.
Lucy was keen to find a new home for it and decided to take some of the comfrey to plant in her own garden.
After an hour of weeding we could confidently say that the allotment was now comFREEy! Well was it? I guess we will find out on our next visit.
