Dingwall Green Gym
Today involved more Rhododendron clearance, this time with the Dingwall Green Gym at Balvaird Wood. These guys couldn’t wait to get stuck right in.
All limbs are intact at this point, you never know when the Rhododendron pixies will attack! We were using the lever and mulch technique, putting our cut vegetation into piles to decay down, rather than burning it.
Is that an arm missing a person in middle of the picture below?? I did warn you about the Rhododendron pixies taking their revenge!
Finally all that is left are the roots emerging from the ground. The guys get stuck into these roots with the pinch bar, “Bruce Strength” required for these ones!
We are also well equipped for some night time working, this lot are well keen!!
Our piles of chopped down rhododendrons line the forest floor like cairns.
