4 yards of compost

Yay!
We received our four yards of compost on Monday morning and by 4:30 Monday afternoon it was all distributed!
A huge success. Special thanks to Ann for finding a couple of strong young men (Jeremiah and Luis?) who were a huge help.
And to Eric for doing the incredible grunt work of removing the western-end bollards to the truck could back into the Greenway and dump the compost where we wanted it. And to Catherine and Ann and Eric for a lot of shovelling, wheeling, spreading!
Good going!

Work party March 25, 2:00, to move a mountain of compost!

We’re getting 4 yards of compost delivered between 9 and 11 tomorrow morning and Ann’s organized for a young man (or maybe two … and we’re going to pay him/them) to come and move compost for us.

Perhaps we can help shovel, but we don’t want any back strains! Bring a wheel barrow if you have one and it’s easy. And shovels. And big buckets. We can top up the Greenway beds and top up the planters down in the Brit courtyard.

I’d say rain or shine, just because the compost will be there either way.

Let me know if questions.

See you at 2:00.

Britannia Neighbours! Work Party today in the Greenway, 2:00

Hi.
Work Party in the Napier Greenway today, 2:00-3:00 (or possibly 4:00). It'll be a perfect day for it.
Bring tools (broom, rake, secateurs, weeding knife, kneeling pad, whatever) if you have them. I'll take leaf bags.
We'd love to see you. It's a jolly and knowledgeable group!
