Our good seed for the day
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Sitopia Farm in Greenwich.

GoodGymers Johnny and Sarah joined other volunteers to help out at Sitopia Farm, a new social farming enterprise in Greenwich.
Sitopia Farm aims to convert an empty green field into a thriving, biodiverse space growing fresh vegetables and flowers, and create a community hub.
After a warm welcome and briefing by Chloë, the founder and head grower, we got to work on the no-dig plant beds.
Step 1: roll out a sheet of cardboard to stop the underlying grass growing through Step 2: lay a bed of green waste compost, crumbling large clods up to an even, fine texture Step 3: lay wood chips to create pathways between adjacent beds.
It was a good fitness workout shovelling the compost and wood chips into wheelbarrows and ferrying them to the uphill plot. And it was a lovely way to meet new people and lend a hand at this inspiring project.
