Bickleigh Vale Roadside Vegetation Maintenance Records​

February Working Bee - It's Mostly About the Road This Time!

24/2/2019

With the hot and dry conditions, growth of most of the roadside vegetation - including the weeds - has been limited but the gutter along Bickleigh Vale Rd needed clearing of gravel in (optomistic) preparation for the next heavy rain.

With a car and trailer starting at the Pembroke Rd end of Bickleigh Vale Rd and an army of workers, we cleared the gravel out of the gutter into the trailer.

Once the gutter and the Downderry culvert were clear, and potholes in the road filled by Ezra, excess gravel was relocated and spread in the divided part of Edna Walling Lane at the Devon Cottage and The Barn entrances.

Whilst all the road construction work was going on, a small party worked on our two other  items:
  • Outside Hurst at the Pembroke Rd entrance to Bickleigh Vale Rd, the cotoneasters need to be pruned back to let light through to the amelanchiers underneath
  • The euphorbia outside Mistover needs to be dead-headed so that it will flower well next season and to restrict the spread of seeds.

And then it was over to the Sonningfield carport for morning tea!
