(3) August 2010 and Jan 2011 Removing blackjacks below the school


AUGUST 2010

The earth bank below the school was full of dried blackjacks


Two workers hand-pulled them out, much tidier!

 

JANUARY 2011

The rains arrived and the blackjack seeds grew into thriving plants


We knew how to deal with them nd a few hours with a brush cutter had the bank all tidy again


At the other end of the bank blackjacks  and other alien plants were growing fast


But the brush cutter soon had it all sorted out.


We will probably have to do this again about March to cut the inevitable regrowth!
