Blustery winds and heavy showers, with dry spells in between, have been lovely for all the new planting, but it also meant our Volunteers have had to carry out extensive weeding and watering in all areas. The ongoing programme of constructing immovable brick planters around the sector continues and yet more Yuccas have been planted! We have been using a member’s trailer for a long time now, which has really helped with the heavy work each week. It has become more ours than theirs over time, so this month we felt it should finally be bought from them! We have also invested in a hot gun to burn out the difficult weeds, which has proved to be both time-saving and very useful. The items we purchase have all been paid for by our fundraisers and donations; every penny has been spent on trees, tools, plants, gravel, membrane and compost. Thank you everyone!
The Maintenance Team continued the regular rota of cleaning, weeding and spraying, also on the gravelled verges of the perimeter road and planted areas, with pet-friendly weed killer. Please remember, every Euro of each member’s monthly payment is used to sweep, weed and spray the whole of Lower ‘C’, although we may only reach your road every few weeks. If you’re not a member of our scheme and see our teams working, please consider joining, or contributing a little to our bucket; many thanks to all who donate.
