From April 2018 to June 2019.
Month: June 2019
It’s full
After only eight months the pond is now full, thanks to the old clay field drains helping to fill it up. It will take time to clear and for the edges to fill with plantlife, but it’s a start.
The Restoration: after
Three years later and the wildflower meadow is taking shape, with successful growth of native seeds that we planted the previous autumn.
Water!
It might not look like much but gushing out of the pipe is water from our new borehole. We now have an unlimited supply of free cool crystal clear fresh water!
What a difference eight months makes
Some spoil from the lake used to landscape a low hill at end end of the field. Seeded with a mixture of native English wildflowers and grasses, it has now blended in seamlessly with its surroundings.
