Title: progress!
Post by: deepinthewoods on July 19, 2012, 05:05:32 pm

work has started on my land clearing the phytoptera infestation of the rhody, today i got back half an acre ish. they reckon 3 more days. i actually cant wait to see what im left with. once theyve finished i'll continue, taking out the laurel too. i might end up with 2 acres at this rate. then i need to roundup the stumps and save up for stockfencing. im much closer to my piggy goal!!

cos thats what theyre using. and tbh, the toxicity caused by rhody n laurel arent much good for pigs either, so to get the land free of rhody growing back thats what has to be done. nothing else would touch this.
