Maps showing new site and The Talking Farm's Plans for it

 

Starting on tour of new site

 

Lots of beautiful blooming purple Loosestrife -- a very bad invasive weed -- to clear before it goes to seed

More weeds and purple loosestrife to clear accross the back of the site

 

 

Starting to clear the site

Andy clearing using the excellent clippers Sustainable Places sold him

A large swinging sithe is much faster and more efficient at clearing than pruners or shears

 

Over an hour and a half later when most of the site is cleared

 

 

 

Relaxing, chatting, and drinking afterword
