Tuesday 21 2009

Today was a Giant Hogweed day, we have been trying to eradicate this noxiuose plant for a couple of years now. We have decided to try less envasive methods than chemicals and the landowner does not want any chemicals used on his property. First we used salt and vinegar, cut the stem and filled the trunk, this knocked it down but it grew back this year. On Tueday we used a tiger torch to burn the growth down to the ground. This seems to work though we will check back to see. After we went to the fish box to see if we had any fish, empty with the temp at 6c so we have to wait awhile longer for the water to come up in tempreture though I think we need some rain to help flush them out of the pond.
