Title: Skip Diving
Post by: mumofstig on March 27, 2012, 18:03

I only went back to the plot to pick a cabbage - and there it was - a skip full of waste wood from the where they're building a row of houses next to the plots  :D

So I made several journeys backwards and forwards to my plot. I reckon to have collected enough to edge at least 2 of my beds. That'll keep them a bit tidier!

Guess who will be going back at the same time tomorrow to see what's in the next one ;)

Try going a little earlier (with cake) - you might find a couple of lads to give a hand carrying it  :D

Hope you asked permission from the owner of the skip and / or houses first  :)

We asked when they first started clearing the site  ;)
