In early December we discovered that the topsoil that was stored for us on Mousehold Heath and delivered in November was full of bindweed roots, which we had to remove before planting up the garden.
Thanks to everyone who took part in our bindweed removal days.
We had a very productive and enjoyable day, and about twenty people took part, including volunteers from Norwich Community Green Gym. We finished digging bindweed roots out from the areas where we want to plant trees and we also cut down all the Buddleia bushes along the northern edge of the garden.

Seven of us spent the morning digging over the soil to remove bindweed roots, pieces of concrete and litter. Right: End of day.

Eight of us spent the morning removing the roots. It was good to get outside after all the snowy weather and heavy Christmas food!
