At Taliesin on a frosty Sunday January 15th, We had our 2012 AGM today around a campfire with loads of shared food, good company and adjourned to the knotweed area where we planted a bunch of young beeches we uprooted from where they were threatening to encroach and colonise our young oakwood bank. The beech needs to be controlled, and it seemed a good idea to see if it can control the knotweed. Some of the ones we transplanted are eight feet tall, and it'll be interesting to see how much umbrage they take from being so abused.
Using the waste product of one management project to manage another appeals to me. We also stuck in loads of willow cuttings in the wetter part of the knotweed patch.
A good afternoon's planting with cost-free planting stock.
