Fortified with coffee from task owner Simon, we set to work weeding one side of a garden area, making sure we got the roots out to discourage re-growth.
Then we dug a trench at one side of it.
The next step was to lay cardboard (as previously used by Hello Fresh) on top of the earth, adding a good carbon source to balance the nitrogen-rich materials in the compost which was to lay on top of it.
Next we made several trips to collect the compost by wheelbarrow. We tipped on top of the cardboard.
So then we had nitrogen-rich materials to balance the carbon source!
Having sorted that out, we returned the tools and barrows to their shed and looked forward to our next visit.
