The Boys class lend a hand

Once again we were lucky enough to have some of the boys from Mr Brown's class helping in the garden last week. They have been working alongside the men from the MenzShed getting the pallet planters cut up and lined. One they're in place we'll fill them with soil and they'll be ready for planting out in the spring. Originally the whole of the back fence was going to be pallet planters but Scott Wilson, a helpful Dad, who gave us a hand with the construction of the composting system, suggested we plant some fruit trees along the fence. We thought it was a great idea, so we'll put some in over the winter months. Once they get established we'll espalier them, which will make great use of the space and that horrible fence will take on a new life. If there are any espalier experts out there we'd really appreciate some advice and a hand.
