Hello.
Just recovering from our first lambing experience. Never knew it would be so exhausting!
Anyway, we lambed outside and the sheep's favourite spot to lamb appeared to be under the trees.
Unfortunately our Hebs seem to like eating our tree bark (the old apple trees are favourite, but they try anything, including leylandii. (Even with a mineral lick on hand to chew on)
As our trees seem to have survived, maybe now is the time to try and protect them.
The only trouble is, we have quite a few.
I don't want to fence the trees off completely as the sheep like the shade and shelter.
I just wondered if anyone has a tried and tested and economical way of tree protection?
Thank you.
