Most of the ground had been planted, but the volunteers left a narrow strip between two rows of beds empty. When fresh compost arrived, they pushed a wheelbarrow along the strip and tipped the load beside the beds that needed topping up. The planted rows stayed undisturbed.
After sowing, the group placed its seed trays along the strip. One person checked the labels while another watered the trays, keeping them together until they were ready to be moved to the greenhouse.
Explain, in your own words, two ways in which leaving the strip empty helped the volunteers.
