The First Autumn Working Party

In the midst of an Indian summer, our resilient and undaunted volunteers at S.W.A.M.P. set about tackling the frustratingly, annoyingly defiant, Crassula and Parrot's Feather.

Even small paws were welcome on a very sultry evening at the pond.

We're now almost 3/4 of the way from clearing the obvious, visible Crassula and our method of piling up plant debris, letting it dry for two weeks and then bagging up before transporting to our 'pit' seems to be working! It certainly makes life easier, to bag up dry produce rather than soggy wet stuff!! Our next challenge is to stop the Crassula re-emerging once we've cleared a certain area. Patience, perseverance and persistence is the alliterative key!!
