In 2021 we started to plant up our 13 Acre site with 25,000 trees in a series of dense clusters. The mix was of mostly fast growing varieties suited to the wet ground such as alder, willow, aspen and birch. These where planted as 450-600mm whips and mulched with jute mulch mats to supress some of the vigorous grass and vegetation growth around them and give them a head start in the very competitive world of plants… and it worked!
After only two and half seasons growth some of the saplings are now towering above the surrounding vegetation.
