The areas cut late last winter, (2kms) have some regrowth as expected and this is the right time to spray a glysophate weedkiller, as the plant begins to shut down for the winter drawing its energy back into the root system; thus absorbing the chemical much more efficiently.
The team will probably be on site for about three weeks depending on the weather, you can't spray when its windy!
We were joined this morning by a group of housing officers who had taken up the invite from the councils wellbeing team to get outside in the fresh air and contribute to improving our public spaces....this inevitably means a litter pick which everyone got stuck into.
There wasn't a great deal of plastic today, mostly fishing ropes and cockle bags. We managed a to collect about eight bags sadly all for landfill, no Strandline Beetles were disturbed during the litter pick, I kept a very close eye on proceedings.
Another day of big skies over Carmarthen bay with Saundersfoot glinting in the distance, opps no photo!
