Spring Into Action

Lots has been happening at the new nursery and plantation in Yetholme. We’ve had perfect conditions to start the growing season with regular rain and warm (for the mountains) weather. A new worker, Matt, has joined the team and Julie our neighbour and nursery all-rounder is a common sight in amongst the trees, pruning away. The irrigation bore is now fully functional and a 3kWh solar system is going up on the shipping container office to power it. All completed just in the nick of time for a potentially hot and dry Summer. Phew. Next up is seed sowing and setting up a greenhouse - Matt is looking into designs for this whenever potting up several thousands of new trees gets too repetitive. Looking forward to a (hopefully) more laid back Summer!
