Plot holders have been busy at Birchill Lane, clearing the turf. The photo below shows the new Community Plot. Tutor Marina Swinburne and volunteer, Lara Nicholls, have been working with ten enthusiastic people on the new course run by Frome Community Education in partnership with Frome Allotment Association.

Team work ensures good progress.
A variety of methods have been used to lift the turf: diggers, turf lifting machines, spades, turfing irons.
So many ways to lift the turf and create a new plot.
Everyone has to help when it comes to clearing the ground.
