May 2nd week
Off to Flanagans
The Rabbit Proof Fence needs to become reality down there. Big Ears has been munching every species we put in, including the ones the book says he doesn't eat. So if you happen to have a stick collection.
I'm also trialing dead Asparagus as a crown of thorns draped over each fence.
Lantana, Asparagus & Morning Glory will be available if you prefer to weed/chop and there is also the north side of the creek.
2025 Down with the peasants
Return to the Blady Grass & surrounds to finish last week's good work & move under the trees if drizzle arrives.
I would like a group to do a sweep along our western edge where we've put in lots of work prior to the Survey. That is, from the Dirt track across to the Ditch, weeding, & freeing our previous plantings.
This will inevitably bring us to the infamous "Andrew's Amnesia" site, rich in unfulfilled promise/s.
Other missions could be Coolatai extraction up the track, Whisky Grass de-seeding, removing useful timber from Hewitts Creek, fun with Honeysuckle.
2024 Jobs to do in the wet
Weeding along the Cycleway Edge and/or Beach & Lagoon Edge Clean -Up.
Gumbies & Web Footed Choppers could monster a new patch of Lantana & Crofton on the west edge of our planted area.
- stay on the path to avoid a bath
- if you stick to the beach you won't see a leech
2023 Cool
The temperature will feel like 5 degrees. So rug up and look to work on the most sheltered sites.
Four Crinum lilies had been destroyed & others hacked nearby, so a tidy-up may be needed.
Keep a lookout, a very healthy Red Bellied Black Snake was sighted last week in the grassy area west of McKellar Glade
2022 Five pressure points:
Morning Glory & Blackberry in the Blady Grass area, with cut & paint on Blackberry* if it stays dry.
Coolatai Grass is up & setting seed beside Woodlands Creek with Bidens & Cassia are also rampant
Morning Glory is thriving between the beach & the cycleway just south of the Hewitts Creek bridge
Condons Corner area has Morning Glory, Bidens, Turk & some rubbish to deal with
Plantings rescue is needed south of the Blady Grass, in the SE corner & along the Stony Road. Should any choppers be available there is maximum choppage to be had along the Stony Road.
