The main tasks for the day will be to mulch some more whips with wood chippings as well as completing the brushcutting and raking of the top path. On the last work day all the whips planted in the Rhododendron area were mulched and the bramble around the whips planted on the other side of the path cut back using a scythe. There are approximately 30 whips, mainly Sessile Oaks, there which require mulching.
As usual FoF will be providing all the necessary tools for the above tasks but please would you bring your own gloves and tools (shears, loppers and a spade) if you have them. Please would you also bring your own wipes and hand gel as well as your own refreshments. Please also remember to wear long trousers/jeans to avoid getting bitten by ticks but FoF’s First Aid kit does contain tick removers if needed.
