Bog Squad popping and pulling: 29 April 2018
This year we're trying to find a better way than using chemicals to control birch regeneration. This was our second popping and pulling day. The idea is to drag the birch out by the roots, give it a good talking too, then encourage it to break down to become peat. The Bog Squad are the real professionals at this and they spent a day with us. We now have a large area cleared of birch regen and we'll be able to compare the effectiveness of doing it this way against using weedkiller.
