March working party

The happy workers relaxing in the sun between energetic bouts of raking out dead grass and digging turf off the new soft fruit bed. In preparation for mowing with scythes, raking is an important first job to clear out rubbish, rocks and the dead grass which would otherwise form a tough thatch at the base of the sward. We are hosting a scythe course taught by Steve Tomlin on 19/20 May. If you'd like to take part, please contact us.
