We Need Top Soil - Can You Help?

Ok, this isn't a photo of the soil in the Persevere Garden, but it might end up like this, if we have a dry summer. In the meantime, Fay, from the Leith Open Spaces group has posted a great update on the amazing progress that's been made already in the Persevere Community Garden. It's brilliant to hear that the fruit trees that we planted some weeks ago are already in bud.
Feedback that we're receiving from the site suggests that the soil in the garden is really poor quality. This is a problem we could solve if we had a van for transporting top soil. Do you know someone who has a van, or even a lorry, who can help? We'll provide the labour if you can provide the wheels! Please contact us if you have any ideas.

I've also arranged for folk from Leith Woodworks to come down to quote for some raised beds on Wednesday evening.
I'm going to try to make it down this afternoon too, as I've still got a whole lot of Hawthorn trees to plant.
Trouble is my volunteers have no transport to get out there (just past Dalmahoy) to shovel it into bags!
Anyway they might bag and deliver the top soil.
Fingers crossed :)
