September Bushcare

On the Saturday just gone, the 23rd September, I had my monthly bushcare session. It was a relatively quiet week with only three of us able to make it this month.

This month, it was quite dry on my little site, due to having little rain recently. It wasn’t as lush as it was last time I saw it! We spent most of our time weeding tradescantia from around the native ferns that has plagued the site for years. Thankfully, due to good work over many years, it wasn’t too bad and we got rid of it.

I also removed some morning glory and balloon vine that was creeping up the hill or trees, depending on the situation.

While it is only two hours per month, I always enjoy doing bushcare. I enjoy caring for the environment without having any pressure to be quick, so I do a more thorough job. Also, anytime I can spend outside in nature is time well spent for me, it is my happy place.
