At last, I have my own woodlands; needless to say there are some problems
The first problem is that there are large quantities of Rhododendron, some of the branches are as thick as my thigh.
I am aware that the filthy things produce millions of seeds and that the ground underneath them is poisoned by the rotting leaves: All this will have to be scraped up and then what? I suppose make a huge heap and keep watching it.
The second problem is that there very large areas of brambles
I have been thinking of clearing areas within the Brambles, say 2m square, and then planting trees with deer protection and also black material on the ground to inhibit weed/bramble growth. I would hope that as the trees gre up that they would shade the area and then Bluebells and other plants that have been smothered would start to re-show?
The final problem is, of course, Deer but I sure that I will be able to sort that one.
