Take:
*1 tree (M27 rootstock for the technical minded)
*compost
*2 spades and a fork
*20+ people from Greenpeace, Ham United Group, Transition town Kingston, Jo's friends the "Williams", passers by who stopped to chat and sign up as beneficial owners
Dig hole in mini-orchard (forward planning by HUG - it was planted last year!)
Surround by stakes - using spirit level to keep them upright
Mix with sunshine
Add a dash of hot mulled apple juice
Smile for the press camera.....
Thanks to all who turned up, advised, chatted, dug, helped tidy HUG's herb garden and contributed to a fun morning. And to MP Susan Kramer who was holding a surgery but came down to the site later that day to view our handiwork.
