How to Move a Mountain!

First, you start with a mountain...a mountain of lovely topsoil!  Lovely, but in a pile quite a way away from the vegetable gardens where we wanted it to be!

Then,  you get stuck in!  Some people digging, loading the dirt into wheelbarrows, buckets and bags, some people carrying and tipping, some people sweeping.


There was A LOT of work to do!





After the dirt had been loaded, it had to transported.  Teamwork did the trick.

The kids from Nui Syndicate formed a chain gang and moved the dirt along bucket by bucket, bag by bag from the pile into the gardens!




Some keen boys and girls volunteered to work at lunchtimes and morning tea times to shift the dirt!






It has taken nearly a month and it has been hard work, but slowly the gardens have filled up and the pile has gone down.









We moved the mountain!  Great job TEAM!
