Oldmeadow Dog 2009

The Oldmeadow site is in the beautiful Samaria Valley on rich volcanic soils.

This site was in 3 sections and was well prepared -totally herbicided by a spray contractor.

Some hand planting of eucalypts was planned for after the direct seeding.

There were rabbits living in the site , the small terrier was onto them !

Randon lines were requested. 4ha.

Helen's Last Bloke

22/10/2010

Helen's Last Bloke of the day was Alan at Warrenbayne.

2.4ha site . Resowing of an earlier job done in 2007 . Alan said the seed germinated well then the plants looked sick and died after a few months . He felt frost may have caught them in late spring . The only plants surviving were Acacia genistifolias which are normally slow to generinate so maybe they missed the frost . These were now 2 metre tall

This site was sprayed a few days earlier and the grass was still long. Fog grass dominated.

There was no gate into the plantation so Justus cut the fence then rejoined it !

( Tom Mahers seed went into this site )

We knocked off at 7.30pm after a long day visiting 5 properties. ( this is a Hagen record )
