We’ve done a lot of mowing and strimming verges beside the path and the grass paths around the meadow in May.  At the end of the month we turned our attention to the path behind Hobmoor Terrace houses, which needed a bit of work with the brush-cutter on May 31st.  Before and after photos below show why it needed to be done.

After

After a bit of rain everything has been starting to grow quite fast.  We plan on thinning ground cover on some parts of the site where shrubs and young trees are at risk of being starved of water, nutrients and light.  Photo below is an example, taken on May 5th.  It shows Paul & Lesley Abbot after helping Malcolm for 3 hours at the N.W. corner of Mayfields.
