We are now twelve weeks into our journey at greenbanks, and  have already begun to supply Dover foodbank. We have managed to prepare a tenth of the plot giving us tomatoes, lettuce, beets, carrots, beans and courgettes! we've also prepared a bed for squash and pumpkin, although in a little late, we will have something. the rest of the beds are being prepared for growing next year. All the weeds get cut down, cardboard placed on-top covered by ten inches of well rotted manure. This is then covered in black plastic to ensure the moisture and warmth are kept locked in as the weeds slowly decay an enrich the soil and microbial life.
