Day 9 Intensive Week - Construction Wrap Up!
Today saw us finishing the construction of the bench tops and the layering of 9 tonnes of soil and aggregate in the planter boxes. Splitting into teams, we shovelled the aggregate into wheelbarrows and created a 100mm layer at the bottom of each bed to create a penetrable drainage layer to ensure the water does not pool in the soil. This was then topped with a weed membrane to the corners of each planter to ensure damp soil would not wash into the aggregate. Finally, the beds were finished with 300mm of topsoil to allow for the growth of a variety of plants that will later be planted and fostered by the local community. In the meantime, benchtops were finalised with wooden planks that were securely fastened to a frame by 6 screws each to ensure safety and longevity. These tops can be lifted off to provide storage for soil and tools within the base as the church prepares to build a shed in the area we cleared on Friday. We’re proud to say that construction has been completed on time and within budget, and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in making this possible. We look forward to celebrating together at tomorrow’s community event!
