Tools

 
Small tools are handy, big tools give you leverage.
Sharp tools are dangerous, but..

Bring at least one tool and consider tying a bright ribbon on it.
Do what you can with the tool you have and work out what tools to also bring next week.

May 4th week

Festival of the boot We will plant in various locales while the more Revisionist minded might re-shape Blackberry, Crofton and Lantana at various sites.   One relatively dry site will be among the flowering Cassia along the Stony Road so choppers should be happy. There's still some Polygala to finish nearby and a lot of Morning glory at the back of the Blady Grass area.   Turkey rhubarb tracing on offer at Condons Corner. I also have a few more "nursery items" for our recently chopped zone. 2023 Missive from Macca Aiming to deal with weeds in grassy areas like Coolatai , Polygala & two or three localised issues. 2022 Cycleway upgrade Council said a new stage of the cycleway upgrade is coming soon-ish: from the Tramway Creek causeway to the south end of the Hewitts Creek Bridge.

 Likely events As well as the Crofton, Fireweed and Montbretia shooting and flowering, if it rains, even average amount, there will be plenty to do. Turkey Rhubarb will soon flower. 2023 Back to Spring There were a lot of Croftons in flower last week along the Cycleway so it would be good to get them first up. There are also a few small scale weeding jobs waiting, including renewed acquaintance with the Velcro , Asthma & Stonecrop exotics. Choppers and cutters can do some more of each in Manifest Destiny, backed by some painting by a Poisoner. The Ditch may also be close to dry enough for some overhead chopping. Tomorrow is our last 9am start for a while.  Mon Oct 2nd is a Public Holiday, but if you don't get an invite to picnic with your favourite Union, Bushcare will be on from 8.30. Mon 9/10 is set down as our WCC Rise & Shine Day when Ross brings all the gear & wins the $ prize for NIRAG. 2022 Weed of the week Trad, Tradescantia fluminensis has got away at ...

Planting tomorrow  Most of the sites will be towards Woodlands Ck where salt water isn't a problem so if we all bring a watering can/bottle refills from the shaduf & big container should be pretty efficient. A track making opportunity is now apparent at the far end of Manifest Destiny so Choppers need not despair. 2023 Just smile & nod like normal  Here's the list Ian asked Ted to publish: several smaller jobs along the cycleway a bit of watering for the Woodlands Ck plantings Ross! there appear to be Lilies emerging hammer in steel posts with chicken wire to protect the Condon Cedars (& take a nice pic to send them).  Splitters!! & continue into Manifest Destiny to weed weeds. there's a little high quality sieve work to be done at the Madeira site 2022 Weed of the week  Lambs Tongue or Ribwort Plantain . Plantago lanceolata A number of weedy sites to attack. More Turkey Rhubarb , Formosa  Lily , Nightshade & Cottonbush and the ubiquito...
