Unfortunately access to large quantities of water and grass to mulch with are often not easily available on these large scale planting operations. Sadly there are thousands more of the plastic nightmares to remove across the valley.Lower Windrush Valley Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661293667791534526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323096702847100796.post-40622342814180501902013-04-03T14:09:01.092-07:002013-04-03T14:09:01.092-07:00Fantastic; removing those awful tree guards that m...Fantastic; removing those awful tree guards that make any tree planting project look like the debris blown from a landfill site. Perhaps others will now follow this example and declare war on plastic as a completely unnecessary and wasteful part of so called environmental improvements. If you want tree whips to grow, WATER them heavily as they are planted and MULCH them with at least 300mm of grass mowing (twice); all surrounded with temporary stock netting fence, which can be reused after a few years in situ.Ian Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486229373133530079noreply@blogger.com
