It’s a Slug Life
4 GoodGymers made their way 2.4km to help the Home-Start Slough in Slough.

This evening we were back out at the allotments helping Home Start Berkshire East with their Slough Womens Allotment Project.
It was great to have Zoe back for her 3rd session and to see Sandy after a little break.
Zoe, Sandy and I met at the top of Shaggy Calf Lane and did a walk/run to the allotments and Pam met us directly there.
Our task was to turn over the soil and remove as many weeds as we could.
At first glance the soil looked very dry and we thought allota effort was going to be needed, but actually most the soil was relatively soft which made the task easier.
With lots of chats of slugs and bugs and how best to remove them in the most eco friendly way - you really do learn allot at a GoodGym session.
Within 45 minutes we had nearly turned over the whole bed and it was time to pack up and head off - Weed done it!
Next week we are helping The Ujala Foundation with their garden space.
