The plan for Thursday, 18/7/2024 is to do a maintenance weed in FP-14. This is a Council zone but we undertook to maintain the new plants there that were planted in our National Tree Day event in July, last year. … Continue reading →

The plan for the 11th July is to finish weeding out the southern portion of BW-32 (adjacent the Garie Street playground) and then do some planting. Megan has some left-overs from last Sunday’s community working bee and I have some … Continue reading →

It is going to be very cold tomorrow morning (like today with the likelihood of frost) – so we are going to start late!  09:30 – 12:30 .  This is the first time we’ve needed to do this in my 13 years … Continue reading →

The KP-9 needs a good weed before the Fumitory and Angled Onions flower. We’ll also have a go at a further incremental roll-back of the trad there for eventual planting up. We’ll assess whether we need to perform another sheet … Continue reading →

The plan for this coming Thursday morning is to visit FP-9 in Furness Park to do some catch-up weeding and (all going well) some in-fill planting. We’ll set up camp near the red X: There’s usually some parking available at … Continue reading →

The plan for this coming Thursday morning is to revisit KP-18 the Billabong. We visited there about a month ago when that very pongey mulch was laid near our work-site – but only had a few working that day. In … Continue reading →

The plan for this coming Thursday morning is to revisit BW-6, BW-7 and BW-36 (edge) near the Scout Hall in Blacks Walk. Assuming we have time and resources, we thought it would be a good idea to weed the edge … Continue reading →
