Irrigation pipes and comfrey plants

Today Karlie, Kath, Rachel, John and Alina worked in the road gardens.

We:

• cleaned the outside of the seven bins in Peace Park
• cleaned the outside of the six bins in the streets
• augured all bins and mixed in the fluffy coffee husks from Toby’s Estate
• one bin in Rose street needed compost from the base of the bin dug out and put on top to make it less smelly and drier
• had a little pruning workshop on one citrus and the first tentative pruning of some branches was done by Karlie, Rachel and Alina

The photo shows the new irrigation pipes laid today in the park to water the espaliered fruit trees with water from the new rainwater tanks buried in the park.  And the broad green leaves in the photo are comfrey planted by Joel.

Comfrey is excellent when put into compost; it speeds up the decay process, and can be used to make compost liquid.
