What a palatable task!
2 GoodGymers made their way 7.7km to help the Dry Arch growers in Bath.

On one of the hottest day of the year so far, two GoodGym volunteers ran along the canal path to Dry Arch Growers in Bathampton.
We helped a crew of regular volunteers create some compost pens using wooden palettes. We learnt how to use a 'post whacker' to drive wooden stakes into the ground to hold up the walls of the pen. Once we were done we also turned over a whole pen of compost into another area using an array of shovels, spades, garden forks and pitch forks. Our work will help speed up the decompostion of all the organic matter that is breaking down there so it can be used to help develop the vegetable plots.
To say thanks for all our hard work, we were kindly offered some refreshments including some tasty homemade apple juice from the harvest last year. It tasted amazing!
We achieved so much in only a short period of time and the team there are really excited to have us back to help them out again at some point soon.
