Terry's Photographs.
Geoff's Note.
Turvills Field, Totland was a new site for us, apparently given to the parish council so that it remained a public open space.
It is a mixed area of meadow grass and copse. Today's task was simply to rake off the cut grass and remove to a suitable area of woodland. It was a slightly damp morning but overnight rain had made the grass heavier.
Mark's Note.
Even after 19 years there are still locations around the Island new to the group. This week we are at Turvills Field, Madeira Road, Totland. PO39 0BJ This is a quiet meadow and small woodland area, owned by Totland Parish Council.
We'll be raking off the wild flower meadow here, it was cut yesterday. Done to prevent the vegetation dying back and their nutrients going back into the soil. You aim for nutrient poor soils for the wildflowers to thrive and grasses to not become too vigorous.
Many thanks to Geoff, Terry and Mark for their contributions. For all those who signed the Get Well Soon card for Bob the Blog.... thank you for your kind words.
