Yet more HBP!!
Yes. That's right. More balsam eradication was on the cards this week - way updale at Limley Farm.
I know, I know. You are right - we were only up there two weeks ago and last week I said that the scything season had started. Well with there only being a small team available last time, and with the balsam getting to the point where it would be seeding all over the place, a second visit to finish the job was vital. The scything would have to wait.
Shall we check to see if the job got done?
The 8 strong team slowly worked
their way up the dry river bed.
The plants were well rooted between
the stones and often hard to pull up.
Oh Heck!!
NOT a sight for sore eyes!!
That's better.
A heap of defeated balsam.
Helena was proud of her
balsam collection.
Ruth felt overwhelmed.
Where to start?
These two started up here.
This NCV started down here.
And these two just sat around
all day doing nothing...
...having roped in a couple of
cows to do their share of the work.
A more welcome and interesting
sight to see than balsam.
By the time the team arrived at this
patch of merrily seeding balsam
they decided it was time to give
up and go home!
