We badly need a good go at some of the hedges in the Orchard....and weeding round the tree sites to get everything straight for the winter. There is quite a lot to do....weeding on the area which is under the picnic table too!
After such a dry year grass growth has started up again .....but there are many bare patches. Perhaps we'll get some wild flowers fillings the gaps.....
Anyway.....usual plan.....EARLY start at 9.30am on Wednesday 3 October .....work till 11am then coffee/apple cake (if you are lucky!) and if there's more to do we will continue after that. Please bring your own tools.....
EXTRA JOBS.....please have a look at this list and see if you can help.....
- Rebuilding compost heap which is sadly collapsing....we might need some more pallets....the ones in use are rotting badly. The compost can be put all round the hedges
- Rebuilding wood pile which is designed to be a home for stag beetle larvae which take up to 5 years to develop and hatch
- Moving logs along the path into the area which is a fairy ring (logs) for children......there are some already to be moved! AND we now have a wheel barrow.
- Checking the tree guard supports.....some need replacing for sure
After the work party we'll need a bonfire too.....on another date probably
Looking forward to seeing LOTS of you there!
Helen and the Orchard TEAM
