New volunteers and lots to do

We got lots done today thanks to some new volunteers. Katie came along to see what we do, and helped Dan and Ellis get through lots of planting, which is great as we're a bit behind, having spent so long getting the polytunnel up.

We were also delighted that Mark's Dad came along to help him with the roof for the clay oven. We're aiming to use recycled materials where possible, so we re-used slats from pallets to provide us with the roof laths. We're also hoping to use opened-out aluminium cans to tile the roof, which should make for an unusual look.

The oven is now safely wrapped up with a temporary shelter and we'll hopefully add the final layers and the can slates to it next week.
