Trialling The Use Of Wool Pots
The project with the Nursery section in the school is well underway with children involved with planting various vegetables and herbs including potato, peas, nasturtium, asparagus, rosemary and lavender. We have also trialled the use of wool pots. Helping to avoid using plastic pots, many of which end up in landfill, the wool pot can be planted into the soil, deterring slugs and snails and providing nutrients around the growing plants. Conservation work has concentrated on the Bee Loud Glade which includes a most unusual tree, the Bee Bee tree. The flowers are a magnet for bees and other pollinators. We have also cleared the access to the Watercress Beds down at Goldsland, a wonderful spot to visit.
