It's that time of year again when we need to tidy up in the Orchard, spread some mulch and feed the trees.....WEDNESDAY 18 MARCH at 0930
- Weeding each tree site
- Adding feed (fish blood and bone)
- Manure to Ashmead's Kernal and Pixie
- Topping up the mulch to each site
- Checking the stakes and the new supports
Before we get to the 18th we are paying for some work being done in the Orchard replacing some of the badly rotted deer guard stakes, and then we are going to be redoing the supports for the trees as this was recommended by Gerry Edwards when he did his inspection.....we are delighted to have some money to spend. Partly through a most generous gift received last year, and partly using the most generous donations at the Wassail.
So on the 18th, do bring kneelers, small hand forks, grab bags for the weeds.....we have 2 wheelbarrows at the site already.....but to move the mulch we'll need shovels and possibly rakes.
Looking forward to seeing lots of you there.....I'll be bringing coffee and bix as usual
With good wishes to you all for a happy and FRUITFUL YEAR
Helen and the Orchard TEAM
