Chris and I met with Richard Taylor on Sunday 27/5/12 to carry out some weeding on the wetland area at the corner of Tenetahi and Pakiri Rds which was planted by Ponsonby Intermediate last year.
The plants are doing extremely well, despite competing with kikuya. Chris sprayed at one end of the area while Richard and I released the plants at the other end. After an hour it started to rain so we packed up and headed to the wetland area to position the 5 composting bags in preparation for next weekend’s planting day with Auckland Grammar boys. Richard and I partly filled three bags to secure them and completely filled one. We soon realised we will need to purchase more bags. However, the area certainly looked a lot clearer after just over an hour of weeding.
