Eleven keen Friends assembled at the Orchard yesterday to do
the annual weed, manure and mulch of the trees. The trees look very cosy under
a warm duvet of rotted manure and 6 month old wood chip. We have found this
regime essential both to feed the trees but also to keep the winter moisture
around the roots. The sap has started to rise and the buds are
swelling…..here’s to a fruitful season.
Many thanks to everyone who came to help….our next working
party will be a general tidying up with possibly a bonfire….date yet to be
arranged.
We are planning a blossom viewing Coffee Morning in May.
