Team Building Day

Dig deep hosted a fantastic team-building day on 17^th April. We built a Cob and woven willow planter to provide more growing room for mint that was propagated by the Dig Deep volunteers last October. One of the students attending was originally from the Gambia and was able to adopt traditional house building techniques used there to build the planter. We mixed grass with clay and water and trampled it together linking arms and using our boots as a mixing tool. We even sang a traditional Gambian house building song as we worked.

5 Students attended the day and built a smoker and smoked meet, cheese, olives and nuts over the course of the day. They also built a fire and cooked sweet potatoes, corn on the cob and mackerel fillets for their lunch. The day was a great success.
