Bolton Road, BD2
Today we started to explore the best way of developing a food growing area at Bolton St James church. It involved levelling some sloping ground to decide how best to install growing beds. Our favourite tool, the mattock, came into its own.
There were plenty of other tasks too; pallets were used to make a start on constructing a compost bin, roots of plants were dug out from the pathways, composting plant material was raked away to define the garden space, and two apple trees were planted at the front of the church.
