Day 12 - Build Up (Almost there)







Well the end is in site. The planting was finished today barring a few ferns that are still to be collected and the leaf litter spread. And the charcoal 'pudding' got a dressing of bracken and moss. These, together with soil and turf, were used in traditional charcoal making to exclude oxygen from the combustion inside the mound and thus prevent the wood igniting.

  1. Good luck with the show Lads. The Coppice Garden looks great. Also hoping the banner fits OK!

    Best wishes,
