| 5170002 | planting | Tree planting and establishment techniques.This was a large demonstration plot in an ex-industrial area of NW Midlands. UK. Planted to show participants in a Community Forest project various techniques. In this view,black plastic and wood chip mulches are shown. Control of competitive weeds is very important in the establishment of young transplants. The Short-tailed Vole (Microtus agrestis) can be a problem under the plastic sheet mulch, finding it much to their liking and damaging/destroying the base of the trees by gnawing. | |

Midlands, UK. Landscaping on a widespread, industrial scale. Ground contamination widespread and often capped with top soil. The canes supporting the shelters were not strong enough, weed control could have been better and Voles (Microtus agrestis)were destroying stems! |
