Scrub clearance – mulching

Erecting a new fence?  First, you need to find the one you are replacing…. (happily made easy with the RoboFlail!) (pic 1)

And the RoboFlail out and about in Cheltenham at the end of September. (pics 2 & 3)

And if you thought we had pensioned off our other mulching machinery, see our ‘proper’ Seppi mulcher out mid-August, clearing an area for ground investigation (no sound with this video)

RoboFlail clearing – before and after 

This project is part of a programme to control Hemlock, which will be treated next spring to prevent re-growth.

From The Wildlife Trusts website:   “A poisonous plant, hemlock has a repellent smell when its leaves are crushed, helping to ensure that accidental poisonings don’t occur very often – even livestock studiously avoid it. This biennial plant prefers damp places and can grow in huge colonies on waste ground, riverbanks and ditches, but can also be seen along roadside verges. It produces umbels (umbrella-like clusters) of white flowers in June and July”.
